Copying a portion of markers from the itable object and pasting elsewhere

Hi all,

I am using the itable object to store consecutive values for an algorithimic process patch I'm working on. I'm trying to find a way to copy and paste portions of the inputted values from itable so I can move them around but I just haven't been able to figure it out. I am looking to somehow put the selected portion in a capture object and then reinput the portion back into the original itable at another specific location.

I thought it would have something to do with the select tool from itable but unless I'm mistaken this seems to only be a visual cue instead of a function.

Any point of reference is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

EDIT: I've played with the way of using a counter object to shoot a given section into an appended list but feels much too clunky to be part of the work flow. At this point I am thinking if I should be using some sort of external table object that would handle the task better.

It is a shame that iTable is so limited. If your table is

Another thing you might consider is that while you can't cut, copy, past, and insert with [itable] you can with [table] using the select tool.
Also if you give [itable] and [table] the same "table name" edits in one will show in the other.

Nice one Rick. Didn't realise copy/paste was possible with Table.

Ah, what a neat trick Rick! Looks like I can carry on with itable after all :)
