Delete first both lines from .txt
Hi,

I have to programming a program in shell script which combine a lot of .txt files. But in all of these files the program had to delete the first both lines.
Because I don't know anything about shell script I need your help.
Does anyone have a command or a hint, where I can look for?

Thank you,

mkrol

Read the rules for posting homework again, especially the template part, and the mandatory information about professor, course, and school information.

These rules are mandatory and have to be adhered to. No exception.
