Full Discussion: Read n lines from a text files getting n from within the text file
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Read n lines from a text files getting n from within the text file Post 302852977 by Don Cragun on Thursday 12th of September 2013 10:22:39 PM

Note that there are only 14 lines following the 1st line, but the 1st line contains #data: 15; is a line missing in your sample, or is the XXX value in the #data: XXX segments of the headers unreliable? (Note that since the header lines all start with a ">" and the data lines only contain floaing point values, the count in the header can be ignored.)

The counts in the other two header lines seem to match the following data.

Once you have read the data lines, what do you want to do with them?

distrib.pats

DISTRIB.PATS(5) 						File Formats Manual						   DISTRIB.PATS(5)

NAME

       distrib.pats - default values for Usenet Distribution header

DESCRIPTION

       The  file <pathetc in inn.conf>/distrib.pats is used to determine the default value of the Distribution header.	It consists of a series of
       lines; blank lines and lines beginning with a number sign (``#'') are ignored.  All other lines consist of  three  fields  separated  by  a
       colon:
	      weight:pattern:value

       The  first  field  is the weight to assign to this match.  If a newsgroup matches multiple lines, the line with the highest weight is used.
       This should be an arbitrary number greater than zero.  Unlike other INN files, the order of lines in this file is not important.

       The second field is the name of the newsgroup or a wildmat(3)-style pattern to specify a set of	newsgroups.   Multiple	patterns  are  not
       allowed.

       The third field is the value that should be used if this line is picked as the best match.  It can be an empty string.

       Programs such as inews(1) that process a user's posting should consult this file, typically by using the DDxxx routines, documented in lib-
       inn(3).	The intent is that all newsgroups to which an article is posted be used to index into this file, and the value	with  the  highest
       weight should be used as the value of the Distribution header, if none was specified.
