How do you specific lines in a file?
I'm looking to show specific lines (eg. 20 through 40) of a series of files in the directory. How do I do this?

You could use sed. I believe the syntax is as follows: Code:
sed -n '20,40p' file_name For files in a directory: Code:
cd directory_where_files_are for file_name in *; do sed -n '20,40p' file_name done |

Try.. Code:
awk 'FNR>=20 && FNR<=40' file* |
