Copy selected lines in vim
Hi,

I am looking to copy selected lines from a file using the vim editor. I have looked up a few resources and they have suggested to use this-
  1. Type mk
  2. Type: "ay'k (double quotes, <register name from a-z>, <y-yank single quote, k
  3. You can paste those lines wherever you want with "ap
I tried this and it works great with in the same file but when I try to copy it in another file it says no lines in buffer.

It would be great if you explain this to me as to why this does not work. Also, please let me know what are the other ways to do this. I generally highlight the code and paste using p. But this time I have about 1650 lines to do so.

I am on an AIX box [ Version 5.3]. Any suggestions or links to resources would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Coolavi
