Sir, I am well aware that this forum is not where I will get ready made answers for my assignments. In all humility, I did read the rules before posting here.

I understand that no full solutions are suppose to be posted. But when someone is giving me a full solution to my problem I obviously cannot reject it just because it is against the rules of the forum. I understand that is forum does not condone copying, cheating or other mal practices, but please also understand that I am a Linux noob and is forum is my go to place for clarifying my doubts that I have.

FYI, the solutions posted did work but they weren't exactly what I want. As I said I needed something with the basic filter commands like cut,head,tail,etc.

This is exactly what I am asking. Is it even possible to do what I have asked with basic filtering commands ? If so let me know and give me some basic guidelines(NOT FULL SOLUTIONS) so I can proceed. If not please do tell me that it is not possible then I can try a different approach. Whether it is possible or not is not part of my assignment so I don't think it will be a breach of regulations to answer this yes/no question.

The reason I wanted to know whether my desired operation was possible with head,tail,cut is because that's what we have started studying in my college now.

Final Note:
With all due respect to everyone here, I have followed all the rules and regulations while posting my question and I am not looking to cheat my way through my college assignments nor am I looking for someone who can do my work for me. I am looking for direction so I can get a clear understanding of the UNIX systems.

I know this may sound rude but I am just trying to be as frank and precise as possible. If there are any discrepancies on my part please inform me.
