How to delete several lines from file by line number?
Hi
I am using the following command to delete a line from the file by line number:

Thanks a lot
Hi,
I have to update last line of a text file with the number of lines in that file. This last line will have text such as 0.0000 and I should replace this with number lines. If lines are 20 then it should be replaced with 00020. Any sed or awk cmd help would be appreciated (3 Replies)
