This is what I understand.

You need to extract the questions to a new file.1

In file.2, you need the Q&A from nbu_faq.txt. Which means, file.2 will be a copy of nbu_faq.txt.

So your problem is only in extracting the questions.

Try this for extracting questions

sed -n -e '/^Q:.*/p' nbu_faq.txt > file.1
