how to extract the distance from d415?

When I run the distance code in the realsense example, the distance displayed on the screen in real time.

I want to extract this distance in any form (ex. txt ....)

When you say that you want to 'extract' the distance, you mean that you want to save the depth data in a permanent form such as a file? But you do not want to save it as text?

RealSense SDK 2.0 has the ability to save camera data in a file format called 'rosbag' and play it back.

I would like to save the distance displayed on second picture in any form

Can I save the distance below when I use the rosbag??

Someone else may have a better answer, but the only alternative that I can think of is to use the Python language to write the text to a text file.

An even simpler way to capture it would be to use the Print Screen key on your keyboard to take a picture of what is on screen and then open a paint software package and Paste the captured picture into the paint software so you can save it as an image file.
