    Hi, this may be a dumb question, but I was wondering if there's a way, when copying text in linux (Ctrl-C, etc.) to be able to access that data buffer by address directly, and say something like the following (to paste that data into a file with one command):

    /dev/buffer > filename.txt


    Thanks!!!

    Try
    Code:
    cat /dev/buffer > filename.txt
