Copy files from search tab in eclipse 3.4

Question

I just want to copy list of files displayed in eclipse search tab, When i try using right click copy and paste into some folder it does not work.It actually copies the file location rather than the file itself

Answer 1

There is no direct way to do this. What you can do is:

1. Double click on the entry in the search tab
2. F12 to switch to the editor
3. Ctrl+Alt+W to select the file in the navigator view
4. Drag the file from there to the place where you want it

Too tedious? Then open a command prompt or shell and use the file location there.
