Hi Eric,

In Fiddler it is not possible to mark and copy from fields in the
sessions list. I know I can copy if I right click but sometime it
would be easier to just get something directly from the sessions list
(for instance get server IP to do some diagnostics in a command
prompt) without having to copy the full summary into Notepad and copy
what I need from there. Would it be possible to add such a feature in
one of the future releases?

Thanks,

Norbert

How do you imagine that feature would work?

If you're always copying the same column(s), you could trivially add a
new context-menu item... e.g. Rules > Customize Rules, and add the
following:


public static ContextAction("Copy Hosts")
function CopyHostsToClipboard(oSessions: Session[]){
var s= "";
for (var x = 0; x < oSessions.Length; x++){
s += oSessions[x].hostname + "\r\n";
}
Utilities.CopyToClipboard(s);

Is there a similar function to copy IP's?

Hi guys, thanks for your suggestions.

Yes, I know I could add a Rule but that I meant is to position the
cursor to any value in the sessions list and be able to mark that
value and copy it into the clipboard. Like if the sessions list was a
table with values in fields and you click on one of the fields to mark
and copy the value. Does this make sense?

But the sessions list *isn't* a table, so how would you imagine that
this feature would work?

Fiddler 2.2.7.1 has a "Copy > This Column" item on the session list's
context menu.
