Grep from a certain point in output
Hi

I execute a command and would like for it start from a certain line and not right at the beginning.

Basically starting like from 10 lines down.

There are lots of ways to do this. One simple way is:
Code:
tail -n +10 input_file | command

Using awk:-
Code:
awk 'NR>10' input_file | command

Since you're asking for grep, that can all be done in one awk:

awk '(NR>10) && /regex/' filename
