I have file - file_first.txt:

I want to find all line content word hello. So I use occur for this

Nice.

Now I want to save result to SEPARATE file: file_second.txt

To do this I use menu File->Save As (C-x C-w)

And success save content of occur buffer to file file_second.txt

Nice.

Now I want to delete first line

2 matches for "hello"...

in file file_second.txt

To do this I go to first line, select whole line and press any key.

But I get message:

Text is read only

And first line NOT DELETE.

Why? This is not any more *occur* buffer. It's a SEPARATE file.

But I can success delete another line (e.g. second line)

Why I can edit any lines EXCEPT FIRST LINE?

You already asked essentially the same question and got some pointers there. – Harald Hanche-Olsen Jan 06 '19 at 15:16

The the right thing to do is to ask for clarification on that other question, or possibly updating it to making it clearer. (That will also bump it to the front page.) Certainly, without feedback indicating why it did not help, I am unable to help further. – Harald Hanche-Olsen Jan 06 '19 at 15:53

Why when I save occur buffer to separate file not whole lines are editable? – a_subscriber Jan 07 '19 at 11:09
