Export should include all selected rows and all shown columns, and exclude any rows not selected

[EmanuelFaria]

I'm using VisualGrep to search for keywords (eg. "antibacterial") in a directory containing subfolders, each containing an html page with the same filename: "scholarly.html".

The export function seems not to be working properly. It just spits out original the html pages, but reformatted depending on what app I choose to export to... in this screenshot, you'll see it in Microsoft excel:

What I need is to be able to export the data exactly as I see it in VisualGrep... preferably, with only the columns I've shown, and preferably with the search term highlighted in the context just as it is in VisualGrep, and including the line number too, please.

Regarding export selection...

1. If I turn off all the columns but one, just that one should be exported, please.
2. If I deselect some rows, only the selected rows should be selected, please

Thanks!

Currently you can copy (you use the term export) filenames and content, you need a new 'action' like 'copy whole row'

For example if VisualGrep finds the text hello world into the file /mypath/file.html at line 10 you want to copy

10<SEPARATOR>/mypath/file.html<SEPARATOR>hello world

where <SEPARATOR> is a string like the TAB character

Is this correct?

with the search term highlighted in the context

This sounds interesting, the format must be handled but it sounds easy

[EmanuelFaria]

Yes! Correct!

Consider user can rearrange the columns order using drag and drop, so this order will be used to generate the output
