in thread Odd error message
This is a pretty sketchy reply, but please forgive that as it's been a long time since I set up a "Command Prompt" to allow highlighting a word, phrase, para or whatever, so that by hitting RETURN (aka ENTER) I dump the highlighted data into a buffer which can then be pasted into another application -- say, my text editor, a calc sheet, etc.
Laurent_R describes an ad hoc approach but you can make your Win32 console more manageable (editable) by opening a "Command Prompt"; right clicking on the title bar (including the icon at the top left which is inside the bar) and adjusting the various options under "Properties."
Addtl thoughts: check the quickedit and insert boxes in the first tab (options), and, often, you'll find it useful to increase the window and screenbuffer dimensions in the "layout" tab.
Edit 2: This is from a Win7 Pro box:
This is perl 5, version 18, subversion 4 (v5.18.4) built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-64int (with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail) Copyright 1987-2013, Larry Wall Binary build 1805 299195 provided by ActiveState http://www.ActiveState.com Built Jul 20 2015 16:07:57I (eventually) see this message, error and output:
