How can copy the column name of a specified column to the Clipboard?

Question

Use jsl.

For example, open "Big Class.jmp" and copy its second column name to the clipboard.

Thanks!

Names Default to Here( 1 );

dt = Open( "$SAMPLE_DATA/Big Class.jmp" );

name = Column( dt, 2 ) << Get Name;

Set Clipboard( name );

I suggest that you learn to use the Help > Scripting Index. (I assume that you have already learned the scripting language and how to script JMP in general.) I was able to search and find the answer very quickly.

There are a couple of easy ways to do this.

* Go to the Columns Panel on the left side of the data table and click on the column name you want to copy. 
Pause and then click on it again.  The display will change to a field that you can now copy from.
* Double click on the column header, which will open up the Column Info dialog box.  You can copy the column name from there.
