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.

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).
