[Geany-Users] copy line numbers with selected line or area

[Doug Henderson]

Ben,

One way to do this is to match the lines of interest with a find. The
hits show up in the Messages Window where you can copy all or select
and copy some lines, along with their filename and line numbers to the
clipboard.

I do this with log files where I select all the lines with a
particular type of problem. I could also select some of the lines with
a regexp on the timestamp.
