Copying and pasting large numbers from Knime results view

Hi @koeties , I think this is unfortunately KNIME’s default handling of the numeric data when copying to clipboard.

I have a component on the community hub Table to Markdown (clipboard) that may be able to assist with copying to clipboard. Attach it to the output of the node in question and specify the columns to copy and it will copy them to clipboard. I’ve just updated the component to give the option of attempting to copy significant digits, rather than KNIME default. When the node executes, it copies to data to clipboard for you, so you don’t have to do it manually.

e.g.
If my data table contains this (shown here in Classic UI):

Attempting manual copy/paste will produce this:

2.0
3.1415926
7.128712871287128
134453.000911
2.86999779955E9

whereas the component will copy to clipboard (keeping significant digits) as this:

column1
2
3.1415926
7.128712871287128
134453.000911
2869997799.55

Let me know if that helps. If it is useful, but you need some other “tweaks” to the component let me know and I may be able to assist with some modifications, or an alternative version.
