Help! Copy and Paste a range of lines from text file into text area then delete lines from file?

[JIMBOB]

Hello,

I'm having trouble working out how to copy a range of data (500 lines) from a text file to the clipboard and once the data has been copied to the clipboard, the lines are removed from the text file.

Even knowing how to copy a range of lines from a text file (or table) to the clipboard would probably send me in the right direction.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
