Aside from the other worthy responses about how to capture to a file or to use more you could get yourself an editor that will do it for you.

My preference is UltraEdit (I am a W2K user), but there are many others (and for as many editors there are there are 100 times more opinions as to which is the best etc, the source of many a holy flame war). I suggest you do a search for programming editors in super search.

Another advantage to using a propper editor is that you get syntax highlighting, hexadecimal view, commenting in some even auto-format. A good programming editor is just as useful (if not more) than an IDE like VB/C++ and is an essential part of a good coders toolbox.

  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
