Copy all instances

Question

Hello,
I would like to copy the data from a variable number of fields in a repeatable subform and paste them somewhere else.
How would I do this? I assume using the instance manager and maybe this.parent.index somehow...
Thank you for your time.

Still struggling with this but I have found some code that is making me think I am close.
My thought for the code below is to have click event
check the number if instances in a subform
create that exact amount of instances in another subform
copy the contents of the first subform instances into an array
paste the contents of this array in the new instances.
// on click vent
// create new empty array
var ofirstArray = [];
for (var i = 0; i < _nameSubform1.count; i++) // this is the total number of instances in nameSubform1 ...
  // get a reference to the nameSubform1[i] object
  var oSub1 = this.resolveNode("nameSubform1[" + i + "]");
  // set the value of its textfield object
  oSub1.textField.rawValue = ofirstArray[]; // fill this array with the contents of the instanced text field within nameSubform1
// now that we have the array filled paste the contents
// into a new subform with the same number of instances
_nameSubform2.setInstances(x); // x should be equal to _nameSubform1.count
for (var i = 0; i < _nameSubform2.count; i++) // this is the total number of instances in nameSubform2...
  // get a reference to the nameSubform2[i] object
  var oSub2 = this.resolveNode("nameSubform2[" + i + "]");
  // set the value of its textfield object
  oSub2.textField2.rawValue = ofirstArray[i]; // fill these text fields with the contents of the array created above from nameSubform1
I just confused myself there...I'm thinking now I can do it all in one for loop. I need help.
