Copying Only Text from Markdown Tables Without | Characters

Help
1

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working with tables in Obsidian and I’ve run into a bit of an issue. When I select a column from a table and copy it, the content includes the || characters used in markdown formatting.

For example, my copied text looks something like this:

| Column1 | Column2 | Column3 |
|---------|---------|---------|
|   Data  |   Data  |   Data  |

Instead of:

Column1 
Data 
Data

This becomes tedious when I need to share the extracted list in a messenger or any other platform as I have to manually remove these characters each time.

Is there any plugin available or a built-in feature in Obsidian that would allow me to copy the text from markdown tables without these || characters? Essentially, I’m looking for a way to copy only the cell content directly.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

Advanced Tables have options to Export to CSV if it helps.
