How can i properly copy multiple lines in the output?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ve printed a series of numbers in the output during playtesting, and now i want to put them in a script as a table.

I hit right click and copy, generated a new script, and pasted it in- EW.

This is not what i want. I don’t want to select these dots and delete them countless times manually.
I did try the Find + Replace feature, but for some reason they detect the characters, but replacing doesn’t work at all.

Is there a better way to deal with this? Any help is appreciated.

So you want basically when it prints random generated numbers or whatever you’re printing to the output you want it also to copy it and paste it into a script where you can visibly see it?

Yes
Anything without those weird characters

You can make a custom function to print the table

local t = {}
for i = 1, 10 do
	table.insert(t, math.random())
end

local function printTable(t)
	local str = ""
	for i, v in ipairs(t) do
		str = str .. string.format("\t[%d] = %f,\n", i, v)
	end
	print(string.format("local tab = {\n%s}", str))
end

printTable(t)

--> Output:
local tab = {
	[1] = 0.191277,
	[2] = 0.965295,
	[3] = 0.847141,
	[4] = 0.613368,
	[5] = 0.562236,
	[6] = 0.407031,
	[7] = 0.209487,
	[8] = 0.037708,
	[9] = 0.900206,
	[10] = 0.204109,
}
Table gets printed as some weird code in game. How to make it print its values

Find and replace seems like a pretty straightforward solution here.

Apparently i was copying it wrong.

Before this is right-clicked the output window background and copied.
I fixed the character issue by right-clicking the printed text on the output instead and the weird characters only appeared on one line :relieved:
