Just for fun:
Code:
awk '($0=NR)>c{exit}1' c=1000 RS='\000' /dev/zero

@Scruti, you geek

lol Smilie

... by the way, i tested you code in an ubuntu 11 that runs in a VirtualBox, see what i got :

Code:
$ awk '($0=NR)>c{exit}1' c=1000 RS='\000' /dev/zero
Processus arrêté
$ ^C
$ ^C
$

It went into an endless loop, i had to ^C and then wait for 1 minutes before it could break it and give me the prompt back !

@ctsgnb, hehe could not resist Smilie .The trouble is with RS in [^g]awk , so I think we need to revert to this:
Code:
tr '\000' '\n' < /dev/zero | awk '($0=NR)>c{exit}1' c=1000
