command line - Can I get copy/paste functionality from a C# Console Window?

Question

I am developing a console application in C#, and was wondering if there was a way to get the "copy-paste" or "mark-paste" functionality into my application, similar or identical to that of the standard Windows command prompt. Is this a wild goose chase or a simple application variable?

Answer 1

I've copied text from the Console window and pasted it into another source many times.

It's there as default in a Console application;

Right click the console border:

Select Edit > Mark:

Drag over the text you want using the mouse (Or use the arrow keys) to select the text you want:

Again, right click on the console border and select Edit > Copy:

From here you can paste it into another application as you would with any other text.

This was taken from a C# Console application and the only code entered was the command to write to the console, no settings were changed.

Hope this helps!
