I need to select some lines inside of a list of file names to bring them at the end of the list.

Suppose I have Files.txt with this list:

filename1.aaa
filename1.bbb
filename1.ccc
filename2.aaa
filename2.bbb
filename2.ccc
filename3.aaa
filename3.bbb
filename3.ccc

I want to select all the lines where the file extension is ccc and then be able to CTRL-X and CTRL-V to put them on the bottom of the list. So the result have to be like this:

filename1.aaa
filename1.bbb
filename2.aaa
filename2.bbb
filename3.aaa
filename3.bbb
filename1.ccc
filename2.ccc
filename3.ccc

Is it possible?

In Windows press:

  1. Ctrl+F for searching all ".ccc" terms in file;
  2. Ctrl+L to expand selection to line;
  3. Ctrl+X to cut all selected lines;
  4. End to go at the end of your file;
  5. Ctrl+V to past all selected line;

If you are using a Mac press Command instead of Ctrl.
