if yo're using borlandC++ see in conio.h function gettext. In MicrosoftC++ also exist some console posibilities. John Fill

In the microsoft DOS window, there is a button that is a box made out of dashed lines. Use this to select the part of the screen you want, then use the button that looks like sissors to cut it, then you can paste it in any text editing document you want

You should try to use the API function
GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE) and pass the HANDLE obtained to a call to ReadFile/ReadConsoleInput/ReadConsoleOutput APIs.

Also look for the "Console" sample inside MSDN Samples. It has a method called demoReadConOut which makes a demo of the ReadConsoleOutput.

Of course all this APIs are working on OS Windows, I don't know any C++ console function that can otherwise help you.

Hope this helps, s-)
