Tailing everything but the first line 3

[Petemush]

Hello again!

Does anyone know how to return an entire file apart from the first line? Like using tail?

So I have a file:

1233
125457
123214235
213123

and I want the following returned:

125457
123214235
213123

Cheers,

tail +2?

The awk way:
awk 'NR>1' /path/to/file
The tail way:
tail +2l /path/to/file

Hope This Helps, PH.

tail +2l

 

[segment]

the sed way

sed -n '2,4p'

A lot shorter


sil
lynx -dump 0xD1.0x5E.0x7B.0x9B/ewps|perl
