How to select all and copy content of .txt file

Question

I have a .txt file on my Android phone. How can I copy it's content to the clipboard, so that I can paste it elsewhere?



When I open the .txt file and long press, I only get "Paste". That is in "DB Text Editor". I also tried installing "Simple Notepad" and opening the file with that, but I still cannot "Select All" or "Copy".



My phone is running Android 4.4.2.
