SecureCRT Copy tip

While working with SecureCRT, or with any other terminal application, the need to copy information is required.

Dragging the cursor, on the terminal, works in a way which copies line by line instead of the required information only,

For example let’s say we want to copy only the IP addresses in the show ip interface brief output:

As you can see it will copy all the lines including the interface name, IP, status, protocol and etc.

In order to copy only the IP addresses, hold down the ALT key while dragging the cursor over the IP addresses and….that’s it!

now i can paste these IP's directly to a TCL script for example without the need to parsing the copied information.
