Can you use cat to send the first 25 lines of a file to the printer? I'm thinking I can pipe it with '|' but I'm not school to check printer output.
With the 'nl' used, all lines are numbered on the print out, but how does one number only the blank lines?
Thanks:) (1 Reply)

Hello,
I'm on a remote computer by SSH. How can I get the output of "cat file" into a file on the local computer?
I cannot use scp, because it's blocked.
something like:
ssh root@remote_maschine "cat /file" > /locale_machine/file

longline
readfile(1F) FMLI Commands readfile(1F)
NAME
readfile, longline - reads file, gets longest line
SYNOPSIS
readfile filename
longline [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The readfile function reads filename and copies it to stdout. No translation of NEWLINE is done. It keeps track of the longest line it
reads and if there is a subsequent call to longline, the length of that line, including the NEWLINE character, is returned.
The longline function returns the length, including the NEWLINE character, of the longest line in filename. If filename is not specified,
it uses the file named in the last call to readfile.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Typical use of readfile and longline
Here is a typical use of readfile and longline in a text frame definition file:
.
.
.
text="`readfile myfile`"
columns=`longline`
.
.
.

cat(1), attributes(5)
DIAGNOSTICS
If filename does not exist, readfile will return FALSE (that is, the expression will have an error return).
longline returns 0 if a readfile has not previously been issued.
NOTES
More than one descriptor can call readfile in the same frame definition file. In text frames, if one of those calls is made from the text
descriptor, then a subsequent use of longline will always get the longest line of the file read by the readfile associated with the text
descriptor, even if it was not the most recent use of readfile.
