How to select thousands of lines

I have a text file with 200,000 lines. How do I select multiple lines, before I delete them?

Manual work is too difficult for, say, 65,000 lines.

Easiest way:

Ctrl+G, go to line 1

    Menu > Edit > Begin/End select.

Ctrl+G, go to line 65.000.

    Menu > Edit > Begin/End select.

You now have your range selected.

The shift+some direction control combo is pretty darned slow for thousands of lines/pages; so here's a fast solution...

# File:: selectGOTO.py
#   A N++ Python Script to enhance line selection speed compared to mouse, cursor, page controls.
#   Selects text from the [ start|end ] of current line to [ end|start ] of GOTO line.

# Install using:: Plugins -> Plugin Manager -> Python Script
# Create script using:: Plugins -> Python Script -> New Script -> "selectGoto.py"
# Add to menu:: Plugins -> Python Script -> Configuration -> [select script] [ add ]
# Create shortcut:: [Restart N++]
#   Settings -> Shortcut Mapper -> Plugin Commands -> selectGOTO -> [modify] [ctrl]+[shift]+[g]

# Simple usage:
#   [ctrl]+[shift]+[g] line#
#   Do your operation... (ie: del)

class startAnchor:
    pos = 0

def selectGOTO( args ):
    endPos = editor.getCurrentPos()
    if( endPos > startAnchor.pos ):
        startAnchor.pos = editor.positionFromLine( editor.lineFromPosition( startAnchor.pos ) )
    else:
        tmp = startAnchor.pos
        startAnchor.pos = endPos
        endPos = tmp
    endPos = editor.getLineEndPosition( editor.lineFromPosition( endPos ) )
    editor.setSel( startAnchor.pos, endPos )
    editor.clearCallbacks()

def main():
    startAnchor.pos = editor.getCurrentPos()
    editor.callback( selectGOTO, [SCINTILLANOTIFICATION.UPDATEUI] )
    notepad.menuCommand( MENUCOMMAND.SEARCH_GOTOLINE )

main()
