I always using PowerShell.exe to get console data, but it's not so easy.
Is there an alternative and easy way to get console data?

There's would be nice to see an option to output a console data to file by console like: "export console"

PS like "export sprites"

Hi, you can copy console output if you run TIC from a terminal

I'm sorry! But is there news about fast copying log? I wanna to make a new image compressor.
How about command in Tic-80 console: "copy log" to copy all text in the current Tic80 log?
PS And I still not get what is a "terminal".
PPS Powershell or cmd  it's a long way to get log text.

Okay! I just found an easy way to get Tic-80 console on my favorite editor Notepad++
with NPPExec plugin by command:  cmd /c "C:\MyPath\Tic80.exe"


PS Now I can make a level editor in Tic-80.
PPS I'm not sure what is /c operator for NPPExec plugin or cmd.exe, but it still works.
PPPS It's still not a perfect solution with output data string, but okay!

It would be cool to see the option to save and load Txt files right in Tic-80  to save/load:
1) 3d models
2) 2d images
3) maps and locations
4) big save game files
5) vector images
6) level and music editors data files

You can select and copy text console on 0.90 dev branch

Sounds really cool!
But:
1) Is there any way to copy all text by pressing ctrl+A or by other ways? Because my line have 10000-20000 symbols to save. Or how to choose one full line?
2) It would be more convenient to make editors with save/load by ".txt" function. Just for example how much editors we can make right in Tic-80 with easy "save/open .txt file " function:
 *Vector Editors,
 *Pixel Editors,
 *3d editors,
 *Level Editors,
 *Full Game Constructor Editors,
 *Big Save for Big Games (with string variables and tables),
 *Animator Editors,
 *txt files to make cartridges for pseudo fantasy console right in Tic-80 (fantasy console in fantasy console (LOL)),
 *Text Editors,
 *Adventure Editors,
 *Game Moding (Bethesda style),
 *to make pseudo Bitsy or Twine/Axma right in Tic-80 etc.
