Copy Query Results in Text Format

John Bell's profile image John Bell posted 3 years ago in General Permalink

if i run a query to generate a list of commands (drop table ...). it would be nice to have a straight text export option as copy only seems to work with one row. This way i could copy to clipboard and paste into your query editor without fooling around with csv options. If i have missed something then i apologize in advance. Thanks.

Well, no problem:

  • rightclick any result and click "Export grid rows"
  • select "Delimited text" and set the options you like
  • press the "Save clipboard settings"
  • leave the dialog via cancel button
  • from now on, use the "Copy as" rightclick menu and its "Delimited text" item for copying rows in your preferred format

I guess i wasn't clear. i know you can do it by adjusting the delimited text options (and it isn't that difficult) but was hoping for a text only option in the copy as menu. Thanks for the fast response.

Then what would be the difference between your "text only" and "delimited text" format? There's not much, is it?
