Comment: Hi,
How can I copy lines of codes from one file to another? All data in the buffer is lost when I copy text and close the file to open another file. Many thanks in advance.

Reply: (edit)Use vi, or just cp and strip out the stuff you don't want. In if you're not familiar with vi I suggest you learn how to use it including command codes. In vi, you can use the yy command to copy lines, and then p to paste the copied code into another area (ex 5yy will copy 5 lines). Joe All Your Base Are Belong to Us
