If this is just for a few lines, just open vi/vim and do a d$.

Others have made good suggestions. If I need to make such vertical-editing, I would display the text in Windows console with a wide window size (I actually use the console version of sqlplus so in this case, it's already in the console). Then I vertically select the text I need.

Some editors support vertical editing, MS Word, UltraEdit, gVim, even MS Outlook. In these editors, you can select and delete the part you don't need.

But for a very big file, using some command is preferred.
