im bored-quick question
 

I was just wondering... how do i paste text from the console into one of the message boxes? For instance suppose I wanted to display the results of ifconfig eth0 for you all to see, how do I do that? :D

I've tried a few things, but nothing works so far
thanx:D

You can do the normal linux copy/paste with the mouse from the x terminal to another application by left clicking and swiping the text you want in the x terminal, switch focus to the app you wish to paste into, and middle click will paste the text.

For a two button mouse, try both-click to sub for a middle click.

There is a program called script that captures the output from the shell and saves it in a file.

try
for more info.

The simplest way is just
That will give you a file called typescript in the current directory.

okay, thanx:D Coulda sworn I've done that, but I guess I'll give it try again after I get Slack downloaded. My RH7.3 has gone sllightly crazy on me, and I wanted to try something newer, so I'm gonna give Slackware a shot. Heard it's tough to setup, so this could get interesting:D

Another way to do this would be to issue the command
ifconfig eth0 > /path/file.txt

Doing this routes all the output to a text file at /path/file.txt. If the file does not exist, it will be created. Note, you will get NO output in your terminal by doing this, it will look like it didn't do anything. To demonstrate this, I'm copying the results of my ifconfig eth0 command which was saved in /root/ifconfig.txt (and I have changed the IP values/MAC address for my own protection).

hahaa it works:) I used FancyPiper's both-click thing beacuse it looked the simplest:), but thanx to everybody for helpin:)

ctrl c and then ctrl v seems to work well too
