Is there a way to copy the contents of "Find result" window(after a search) to the main window(that one we use for alter our sources/texts)?
If affirmative, may someone explain me how?

Mistery. I try again in the version 4.2.2 and it occurs as I expected.
I apologise everybody. In the 4.2.2 in a second trial it does work.
Trouble solved.
Thank you very much for your attention.
I haven't yet tried this with the latest version, but you should be able to click in the Find Results window and press ctrl-A to mark the entire block, then ctrl-C to copy it to the clipboard. You can then paste it into an edit window. --Joel
I tell you!
Your suggestion is the obvious trial and I tried it! It doesn't works!
Two days ago I need to search for an argument in a folder and need to mount a list of the modules that have the searched argument... Notepad++ didn't works...
I think this is a very important feature that is missing in Notepad++
Kind regards
Ricardo
P.S.: I solve the trouble using Ultraedit32 that does the the copy mentioned
What version are you running? I just downloaded and installed 4.2.2, and control+C does work. Still no context menu option to copy, though.
I'm afraid that people are not reading almost the title of the post. I don't say that copy/paste are not OK.
I'm saying that I CAN'T COPY THE RESULTS OF SCAN FROM THE WINDOW WITH THE FIND RESULTS TO THE NORMAL EDIT WINDOW.
Try: Tell Notepad++ to search all modules of a directory for some argument. It will divide the editor screen in two windows. In the bottom window it will show the names of the modules where the argument was found and list the lines containing the argument in each of the modules. I'm wanting to copy the contents of this bottom window to the top window(the normal edit window). When I click in the bottom window and type ctrl-A the text is marked. If I right click the mouse, the option for cut or copy doesn't appears(it appears "collapse all" and "uncollapse all"). If you type ctrl-C and later ctrl-V in the normal edit window, nothing happens...
Do you understand the trouble now?
Kind regards
I'll confirm again that it does work for me with v4.2.2. I used Find In Files to get some results in the window. Then I clicked in the window and pressed control+A then control+C. Then I clicked in editing window and pressed control+V, and the results were pasted in.
I'm using windows XP.
Don't get mad at people who are trying to help you. Are you running Vista? There may be a problem using ctrl-C with some versions of Vista.
Did you try an older version to see if this makes a difference?
Did you try re-installing? That fixed the ctrl-C issue with one person:
