This is pretty vague.. you'll have to be a lot more specific for anyone to give you a meaningful answer!
 If you want to display a the first n lines at the beginning of the file, look into the head command. It doesn't look like this is what you want though, but it'd more helpful to know exactly what you're trying to do.------ There's probably a nice short way to do this, but a short script like this would work: linesToSkip=10 b=`wc -l < yourFile` head -n `expr $b - $linesToSkip` yourFile Last edited by oombera; 11-12-2003 at 11:37 AM.
