title: copy and paste large xml from log file using vi to notepad
body: <p>I have an xml file having more than 500 lines is  printed to a log file on a unix server. Using VI editor I want to copy the xml from log file and paste it to a notepad++.
  I tried using v/V + y commands in vi but when I paste it in notepad no data is pasted.
  The otherway I have is copy the lines that fit in screen and paste it, but for a 500 line xml I have to do this multiple times. 
  Is there any other way that I can achieve this?!!</p>
