move contents from one file to another based on line number or content
I want a script that will move everything beyond a certain line number or beyond a certain content word into another file.
For example, if file A has this:
first line
second line
third line
forth line
fifth line
sixth line
I want to run a script that will move everything beyond the third line to the END of file B, OR it would be even better if the script will move everything beyond the specific words "third line" into file B. That way I could just put in some random characters where I want the cutoff to be and never have to worry about the line number. I am not very good at scripting and do not know where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
