cut 11 lines from a file
All, I have a file that I want to read, cut 12 lines and direct into a new file, and continue to do this until I reach the EOF. How do I do it?
can I use cat or read to do this?
the file is formated with repetitive output consisting of these 12 lines
date: <Timestamp>
dev_id: <device ID>
dev_name: <device name>
MO: <MO info>
change: <change info>
change_sev: <change serverity>
state_change: <current status>
Alarm_state: <alarm status>
overall_sev: < overall serverity>
device_type: < type of device>
garbage_line
I appreciate any suggestions.
