SED Tricks
Using Sed to cut out lines or pull out lines
If you have a text file containing some text
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
And you wanted to deleted lines "3" to "7" out, you can do the following with Sed
sed 3,7d test > test2
This would leave you a new file with
1 2 8 9 10
Now lets say you didnt want to delete the text but wanted to pull out the lines from "3" to "7" then you could do this with sed:
sed -n '3,7p' < test > test2
This would pull out lines "3" to "7" and place in file called "test2"
