    Copy from VI and paste into Bash

    Hello,

    I am trying to copy a line from a file opened in VI and paste it into bash.

    I have managed to perform this by using Putty, but not via commands.
    For example I known that to copy a line from VI I need to use yy, but the problem is a command to paste into the terminal.
    I have tried CTRL+V, CTRL+SHIFT+V and its not working.

    What would the commands for copy, paste, cut into the terminal be?

    Thanks.
