cut and paste from HAL configuration was created by jwsigler
I am setting up linuxcnc on my mill and going through the HAL configuration. I want to compare the hal pin information in hal configuration against what I am putting in my hal file. I am more of a pen and paper guy so I would like to cut and paste the pin info from HAL configuration into a text file and then print it out. Anyone know if it is possible to cut and paste the information displayed in the HAL configuration window? I was able to highlight the text, but a right click does not bring up any cut/paste options.
Thanks
Thanks

No it does not work, just gave it a try, but you can do this all day long, see below:
Just press and hold ALT and press PrtScr ( print screen, on all keyboards above the insert/home/page up ).

You can open a command prompt while Linuxcnc is running and type
halcmd -kf
then
show pin
to print a list of all the pins.

A little more refinement.
With Linuxcnc running open a command prompt and typepress Enter
then typepress Enter
Exit halcmd
Now there will be a file in your home dir (or where ever you opened your command prompt) named pin.txt
This text file will contain all the pin info that you can look at in the show hal window.
With Linuxcnc running open a command prompt and type
halcmd -kf | tee pin.txtthen type
show pinExit halcmd
Now there will be a file in your home dir (or where ever you opened your command prompt) named pin.txt
This text file will contain all the pin info that you can look at in the show hal window.

Actually, I think you can just use the single line
halcmd show pin > pins.txtPlease Log in or Create an account to join the conversation.

That is correct, to expand a bit, open a terminal after starting LinuxCNC and type the above to get a text file with a list of all pins.
More "show" commands are located in the documents.
