Bug finding a line with sed

Hi,

I know you can use sed with a line number to find a line in a file and print it but can for the life of me not remember or find the syntax today!

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks

       December  or  7/12.  If you give the month as * with a date, such as, * 1, that day in any month will do.  On weekends, specifying tomorrow
       extends through Monday.

       When an argument is present, the command searches through a user's calendar file in his login directory and sends him any positive  results
       by Normally this is done daily under control of

       The  calendar  file  is	first  run  through  the  C  preprocessor, to include any other calendar files specified with the #include syntax.
