quick redhat terminal question

[da_mic_1530]

hi there, without going into the why's and background information

I'm a very new user when it comes to linux

How would I go about taking certain information from one file and outputting it as another

E.g

File A has 20 records, 15 of these records start c35

I wish to grab these c35 records and > output them as a text file

I'm currently looking along the lines of

cat /directory/file [c35].* /myhomedirectory >stuff.txt

Or would I be better using the more / less commands

I know this to be wrong but am unable to work out where to go from here

Cheers for any pointers

Don't send him to the Ubuntu forums with a RedHat question.

How about something like
cat /file/location/file.txt | grep "c35" > /home/damic/output.txt

cheers for the pointer, really helpful
