Not much help from anyone!!
I have decided to use sed within a while loop, but my code doesnt seem to work. If anyone knows whats wrong with it, please offer a suggestion.
TMP=1
TMP2=5 #TMP2 is the number of lines in the file
while [ TMP -lt TMP2 ]
do
sed -e '$TMP,%d' File1
TMP=`expr $TMP + 1`
done
