Copy paste serial monitor not possible, options?

Development Tools IDE 2.x

Hi,

i want to copy all information written in the serial monitor. I am only able to copy 10 lines from it. As i have more than 150 lines I would have to copy paste everything in chunks.
Is there a better way to do it?
I tried to log serial input with some data logging tools but my problem is that every software is showing my that it is not possible log the com port (where the arduino is plugged in to) as it is already busy.
I am using IDE 2.0.2 and windows 10.

Thanks

use another Serial terminal. The one built-in 2.0x is crippled.

I use CoolTerm or unix command line tools on my Mac when I just want to save everything in a file.
On windows you could use CoolTerm too but there are also Putty and many more alternatives that can save directly to disk or let you copy and paste what you need

Probably by serial monitor. Close that and you should be able to use 3rd party applications for logging.
