Delete multiple lines w/ sed
Hi all,
I am trying to figure out the syntx to delete multiple lines w/ sed. I know the following syntax will delete lines 1 THROUGH 5 from filex:
sed 1,5d filex
But I wan to delete lines 1 AND 5 (keeping lines 2,3, and 4). Does anyone know how to do this in a single sed statement?
THANKS!!
