Save Selected Text to a File

MPL allows you to select a text in the editor and save to a separate file by choosing the Save Selection command in the File menu. This will bring up the Save Selection dialog box.

This dialog box is very similar to the Save As dialog box explained on the previous page. In the middle of the dialog box is list of the files that are in the current folder. Enter the new filename you want to save the selection as in the File Name input box and then press the Save button.

The files that are listed in the list of files are determined by the entry in the Save as type input box located at the bottom. From there you can select to show MPL model files '*.mpl', MPS files, '*.mps', data files '*.dat', project files *.mpj, or all files '*.*'.

The current folder is shown in the Save In input box at the top of the dialog. If you want to save the file in a different folder, you can press the down arrow at the right of the Save In input box to navigate through the directory tree. Select the folder name you want to save in, then enter the new filename in the File Name input box and press the Save button.

If you do not want to save the selection press the Cancel button to close the dialog box.
