Is there a way to copy a thread of text messages at once?

I want to copy a text "conversation" to an email and/or document. Copying each text one at a time will take hours.
There has to be a shortcut............n

Or, if you learn how to read an xml file, back your messages up to an xml file, then chop out the other threads and the xml tags, and you'll have just the text of that thread.
