    The 'find results' tab that fills up when you do a 'find in files' search is a table where you can only select one line at a time. I would like to copy all the lines of the search results. I suspect that I just can't, but if there is a trick to is I would like to know what that trick is.

    It's silly to just be able to copy one line at a time.

    I'm using Dev-C++ version 4.9.9.2 on Windows XP

      Well, there are quite simply better alternatives. IMO vanilla Dev-C++ has had its day (it day was when there were few alternatives).

      The derivative wxDev-C++ still has a use, but I don't use that either, since what it is useful for is not what I need to do, and it won't solve this problem in any case.

      The free VC++ 2008 Express Edition is superior in all respects except perhaps installation size and start-up speed (minor considerations IMO). It also does what you are trying to do here with no problem.

      I do not have Dev-C++ installed (I no longer bother); but I suspect that if there is no such option of the right-click context menu, then you are right and you can't. Try right-click and see what is available.

      No, there's no right-click menu item that applies. I has (half)hoping that there would be some log file created or some such.
