How to copy contents of DOS prompt in windows
=================================================================
Some times happen that we are working by command prompt in windows
and we like or need to copy contents of dos prompt to a text file.

Or some times when working in dos prompt we want to copy some data
from text file in windows, to command window.

Doing both of them are very easy as below:

=================================================================
1.Copy from text file in windows to command prompt
=================================================================
a).Open your needed txt file,and copy the part you want to place in
command window.

:lol:.Go to start,click on run,type cmd ,hit enter button.now you are
in Command prompt.

c).Right click inside command window,then click on paste.

that's all your text will be copyed to command window.

=================================================================
2.Copy from command prompt to a text file in Windows
=================================================================

A).When you are In command prompt,right click on blue side of
command window,select edit,then click on mark (Figure_1 in
attachment).

:thumbup:.Now you can select needed parts in command window by draging the
mouse,after selecting the needed part hit ENTER key.

C).Now go to notepad (or wordpad),and right click inside that,and
select paste.your selected text in command window will be copyed
to notepad.

=================================================================

hope this small tutor can help you some times.
