Taking screenshots of an event is a common activity for the computer users. It is also easy for taking a screen shot by the readily available keys on the keyboard.

There are even many screenshot taking softwares for desktops.

But have you ever tried to take the screenshot of a C  or C++ programs output?

Definitely you say no…unless you are a geek.

It is the essential part of the students to copy the output of a C program for their assignments, records, observations….So for this they usually type the entire output text.

I will tell you a simple trick to copy the output text easily.

First of all run your C or C++ program in Turbo C compiler[executing the program]. When the terminal shows the output, just press the ‘PrtScn SysRq‘ (Print screen key) of the keyboard. This will copy the text present in the terminal. Then open a new Notepad and paste the text.

Note:

If you open the Turbo C++ compiler like this as in the screenshot below then this wont work. Because when the compiler window is not full screen, the print screen key will take a simple screenshot and not the text present inside the compiler.

So use this trick when the compiler window is in full screen mode. If it is not in full screen mode, try ALT + Enter to maximize the window.

I used to follow this trick in my college days. Hope this new trick will help you in making your assignment work easier…..
