Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello there,

I am having a text file, the following is written in that text file:

Full range of accounts:

Account1
Account2
Account3
Account4


Now my question is. how to take that file and produce another file having only the accounts (i.e., suppressing the fist line of that file)....Any idea?
What about if i want to suppress two lines as well?

Tnanks for your help.

Suppress line 1

Code:

sed "1d" in.txt > out.txt

Suppress line 1 and 2

Code:

sed "1,2d" in.txt > out.txt

Code:

grep -v "^account1" file > newfile (without account1)

An awk solution:

Suppress first line:

Code:

awk 'NR > 1' file1 > file2

Suppress first two lines:

Code:

awk 'NR > 2' file1 > file2

or

Code:

tail -n $(( $(cat z.dat|wc -l) - 1)) infile > outfile
