How do you identify those non-contiguous lines? By a regexp?

You can do something like

:g/^[ACD]/t$

which uses the :t (a.k.a. ":copy") to copy the lines matching the
pattern to a destination (in this case, "$" is the end of the file,
but could just as easily be a mark you dropped previously with
"g:/^[ACD]/t 'a"

-tim
