Re: Best way to inspect the contents of a big variable?

Another way i've found to look at large variable is to stop the code at a
point where the data you want is in a local variable.  Then look at in in
the "local variables" window, and try to modify it's value.  Then you can
select all the data from the dialog box that comes up and paste it somewhere
useful.
