Eureka.
U guys make things way to complecated. hehe. i just used sed -n '1p' for the first line..
But im wondering..Is there a way to loop through so i dont have to use a different varaible for a new line each time..? Because my sed pipeline is kinda long..
Example
Var1=$( cat $FILE | sed ..... | sed -n '1p' )
Var2=$( cat $FILE | sed ..... | sed -n '2p' )
OR can i have the long sed pipeline to be a varaible..To then have:
Var3=$( cat $FILE | longVar | sed -n '3p' )
Also..A command that would be really extemely soo very valuble to me would be to print lines 1 - 12 or so at once.
sed -n '/[1-12]/'
or something like that, because if i were to have sed -n '1-12p' it wouldnt include the blank lines..understand? I guess i have no choice to do it seperately. grr.

NAME
fixnt - Filter for the Windows NT postscript printer driver.
SYNOPSIS
fixnt < BADFILE.ps > GOODFILE.ps
DESCRIPTION
The Windows NT postscript driver has a tendency to make broken postscript files, that are incompatible with psutils. fixnt is a filter
that fixes these problems, allowing the use of psnup(1).
The filter takes the broken postscript file on stdin, and outputs a fixed postscript file on stdout. It has no other form for invocation
and takes no options on the command-line.
OPTIONS
fixnt takes no options.
BUGS
fixnt does not check for NTPSOct94. For a workaround, use a sed(1) command to replace 'NTPSOct94' with 'NTPSOct95', like so:
sed 's/NTPSOct94/NTPSOct95/g'
This is particularly important for Windows NT 3.5 users.
AUTHOR
fixnt was written by Holger Bauer <Holger.Bauer@topmail.de>, Michael Rath <rath@itsm.uni-stuttgart.de>, and Akim Demaille
<demaille@inf.enst.fr>.
REPORTING BUGS
Report bugs to the Authors, but avoid sending large postscript files.
Patches are always welcome; send to <bauer@itsm.uni-stuttgart.de>.
