Assuming the pattern /^-$/ matches lines 1,7,13,19 and so on, you can
use g with relative line numbers to delete lines.
For File A, copy and use
:g/^-$/d2|+,+3d
for File B, copy and use
:g/^-$/d3|+,+2d
for File C, copy and use
:g/^-$/d4|+d
for File D, copy and
:g/^-$/d5
Or, to do it all in one fell swoop from the shell...
for i in 3 4 5 6; do sed -n $i~6p test.txt >test$((i-2)).out; done
You could do the same thing from within Vim by editing the file and doing...
:w !sed -n '3~6p' >test1.out
:w !sed -n '4~6p' >test2.out
.
.
In my opinion, these approaches are a bit simpler, but of course, they
work only if you have POSIX tools on your system...
