I think (if I understand your intent) you want to use the "+" or "*"
register, assuming your vim is built with +clipboard

You can check the output of

:version

to make sure that you have a build with "+clipboard" rather than
"-clipboard". You can then specify the register you want, such as

"+yy

to yank the line to the system clipboard. You may want to read at

:help clipboard
:help registers
:help quoteplus
:help quotestar

(If you use Windows, there is no difference between "*" and "+"; if
you use an X Window system, there's a subtle difference)

-tim
