I have a file with 65 sets of 35 coordinates, and would like to isolate these coordinates so that I can easily copy the coordinates to another file. The problem is, I've got a 9 line header before each set of coordinates (so each set is 44 lines long). There are a zillion threads out there about deleting whole lines out of a file, so I figured I would give one of those a shot. First I split the big file into a bunch of little ones using:

Code:

split -l 44 -d filename output

and then did what I thought would delete the first 9 lines of every file with output in the file name, combining everything back into one big file again:

Code:

more +10 output* > newfile

However, after I ran that I noticed that in newfile, only the first 9 lines of the first ouput file were deleted while every other file remained unchanged. Further, an additional header

Code:

:::::::::::::::
output00
:::::::::::::::

had been added on!
What am I doing wrong?

tl;dr how do you delete lines 1-9, 45-53, 89-97, etc in a file?
