Copy Results column value

[ChrisGreaves]

Am I missing a feature that exists but that I can't find?

My results list generally includes the field "Date Modified".
I am quite used to right-click then "Copy Full Path"
For a found item I would like to load the date-modified value to the clipboard:-

I right-click in the (orange circled) area and see nothing like "Copy" except of course "Copy" and "Copy Full path".

I would like to copy that "08/01/20226 12:08 A.M." to the clipboard.
My current solution is, after the right-click, to select "Properties" from the context menu, then drag-and-select on the "Date Modified" data and then use Ctrl+C to copy "08/01/20226 12:08 A.M." to the clipboard.
That works (for me), but I hate work.
Also ***I*** am prone to errors when using the mouse to select data, and I am a year older this year ...

If a right-click on a single data item in the results list offered an option to copy that data item to the clipboard, then 2026 would be the best year I've ever had!

Am I missing a feature that exists but that I can't find?
Thanks, Chris

Hi,
click on the value of Date Modified > Right-click > Copy Date Modified.

With the tool "Textify" it is possible to extract Date/Time as shown, e.g. 07.01.2026 18:44.
If I use 'Copy Date Modified' I get 2026-01-07 18:44:18.

For me, the “Date Modified” column is in the 5th position (counting starts at ‘0’ zero).

Code: Select all

Name;Path;Extension;Size;Total Size;Date Modified
0     1      2       3       4           5

Bookmark (CTRL+ALT+I):
Search: Custom

Code: Select all

/comment - Column 5: Date Modified (column counting starts at 0 zero)
/copy $column5:

- The cursor was positioned on a “Date Modified” value in line 2, for example.
- To be on the safe side, “Copy Date Modified” was performed after right-clicking and the value “2024-04-07 22:45:50” was obtained.
- The cursor was then positioned again in line 2 and the arrow keys were used to check that the “Date Modified” value was selected.
- The keyboard shortcut CTRL+ALT+I was then pressed.
- CTRL+V did not output any value.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong...

Tuska, thanks for this prompt response,
Yes, I did do something wrong; more correctly my brain over-functioned:-
(1) I reasoned that what with this being Everything, Void would have previously worked out what I was going to want to do and implemented it, oh, years ago.
(2) With this in mind, I ignored the first two by now familiar menu items prefaced with "Copy", and scanned the rest of the list looking for something useful like "Copy Results column value"

(3) Which means I adroitly skipped over the very thing I should have used!

Thanks again; to BOTH of you! Cheers, Chris
