How to copy paste from vi to browser?

I'm trying to copy paste about 5k lines from a vi text file onto a website but obviously manually selecting the text from my screen and pasting it one page at a time is time consuming so I was wondering if there was an easier way to do this?

Can't you open it in a text editor? Or open it with your browser? If it's a .txt it works in Firefox, I just tested. Otherwise just copy it to a .html or .txt and open it with the browser.

Wow I can't believe I didn't think of that. Thanks
