I am looking for something some simple command to cut a few lines from file1 and paste them in file2.

QA

Engineering

SA

DBA

There's a cut command https://shapeshed.com/unix-cut/, theres awk... Lots of ways to do it. — Jerinaw, Aug 04 '17 at 17:01

Try this:

sed -n begin_line,end_line[p] filename > newfile && sed -i 'begin_line,end_line d' filename

When I tried this, it is copying the lines but it is not deleting from the file1. I want to cut (remove/delete) the lines from file1 and past it in file2. – peshu Aug 04 '17 at 21:12
