On Arduino IDE 2.0.1 (maybe before ?), when I copy/paste the content of the Serial Monitor, ONLY the VISIBLE part of the windows tab "Serial Monitor" is copied, even though the selected (Ctrl-A) and supposed copied (Ctrl-C) is much bigger. I think it's a new bug to be fixed. Does somebody has a workaround ?
Thanks
That is a well known problem. You can start following it here.
Use a separate terminal program; you did not mention your OS but for windows e.g. coolterm, realterm or putty.
Advantage:
They allow you to save the received data to file.
Disadvantage:
If you want to upload a new version of your sketch, you will have to close the port in the chosen application first. Only one application can use a serial port at a time.
In my Arduino 2.04, Ctrl-A copies the sketch, not anything in the monitor. If I highlight all data in the monitor, only the visible data is copied.
Ironically, I can copy the entire sketch with Ctrl-A, even the non-visible portions.
I think it's ludicrous that something as simple as copying text data from a window doesn't work.
