I want to output all lines between a and b in a file.
This works but seems like overkill:
head -n 900 file.txt | tail -n 100
My lack of unix knowledge seems to be the limit here. Any suggestions?
This will print (
p) lines 800 through 900, including both line 800 and 900 (i.e. 101 lines in total). It will not print any other lines (-n).Adjust from 800 to 801 and/or 900 to 899 to make it do exactly what you think “between 800 and 900” should mean in your case.
