Hi:
I have been trying to paste a table from a notebook to an ascii
file. I am using Mathematica 4.0. In older versions, I could
display a 2-d list using TableForm, highlight the table and paste the
table into a text file and it would paste as nice columns of
data.
Right now I am attempting this and find that all the formatting
symbols are being pasted into the text as well like what is shown
below. I am using unix and pasting into a text file which I am
editting with emacs. In the past I was also working on other computers
(still unix and X) so that might possibly be part of the difference.
\!\(\*
TagBox[GridBox[{
{\(a[1, 1]\), \(a[1, 2]\)},
{\(a[2, 1]\), \(a[2, 2]\)}
},
RowSpacings->1,
ColumnSpacings->3,
RowAlignments->Baseline,
ColumnAlignments->{Left}],
(TableForm[ #]&)]\) #!
Thanks for any help anyone can provide.
