Othello O	Is there a simpler liine I could use to copy the whole line from a custom window? Copy : clipboard $mid($sline(@TEST,1),1,$calc($pos($sline(@TEST,1),.,1) + 60))

Hammer H	Code: Copy : clipboard $mid($sline(@TEST,1),1,$calc($pos($sline(@TEST,1),.,1) + 60)) That popup literally means this, when clicked: Copy to the clipboard the first selected line in the @TEST window, starting from the first character continuing through 60 characters past the first period on the line. Collective's answer is most likely exactly what you are looking for. Code: Copy: clipboard $sline(@Test,1) This version means, when clicked: Copy to the clipboard the first selected line in the @Test window. Stopping here is exactly what you asked for. Where did you get that first example from? It's pretty specific for a simple copy to clipboard command. Since you have found the /window command and therefore, the /help /window command, scroll down to the very bottom where the @Window $identifiers are described and read up on $sline().

Othello O	What I was trying to achieve was to copy selected lines in a custom window This line is one that was used in another script I have that did the same thing.

If you can select multiple lines in your window and want to be able to copy all of them to your clipboard, you need to loop through the lines and add a $crlf between them. Like this:

Code:


  Copy :{
  
    ;  Copy the first line to the clipboard without a $crlf (in case there's only just the one line selected
    ;  and not using the -a switch because we want to overwrite (initially) what's on the clipboard.
    clipboard $sline(@TEST,1)
  
    ;  Now get ready to loop through the rest of the lines, if there are any.
    var %i
    while ($sline(@TEST,%i)) {

      ;  Since we've made it into the loop, we must have found another line to add. Add a $crlf 
      ; (carriage return/line feed) to get to the next line and then the text found on the next line.
      ;  Copy it to the clipboard, this time using the -a switch to add it to what's already there.
      clipboard -a $+($crlf,$ifmatch)
  
      ;  Increment %i to see if there is another line.
      inc %i
  
    }
  }

Your lines are now on your clipboard, ready to be pasted somewhere (with Alt-V or using $cb or however you want to access them).
