Copy Buffer Icon Copy Buffer

This action can be used to copy all of the data stored in one buffer to another. When using two buffers and copying from one to the other, both buffers must have previously been created using the Create Buffer action, and you supply the unique buffer ID returned as the from/to arguments.

NOTE You cannot copy to the same buffer.
