How to copy a section of XML file and create a new file using notepad++

Question

I have a file with 250,000 lines.

I want to copy the first 65,000 into file 1 and remaining into other file. How can I do this with Notepad++? is there any plugin to do this?

I would recommend another tools instead of Notepadd++. And asking for plugins or this kind of stuff is off topic here. Here is an answer that may help you: https://stackoverflow.com/a/34609796/460557 — Jorge Campos, Nov 24 '20 at 21:14

In notepad++:

Press Ctrl + G, type the start line and hit Enter to go to the start line.
Then go to the menu, click on Edit and then Begin/End select.
Press again Ctrl + G, and type the end line number and hit Enter to go to it.
Back to the menu, click on Edit and then Begin/End select once more.
By now you will have your range of lines selected. Copy the highlighted section and paste it in the new file.
