You're probably all familiar with the commands "head" and "tail", which let you extract the first or the last N lines of input or a file...
Imagine you want to print a file, but without the first N lines... For N=1, one possibility would be: print if $. - 1; For any N, maybe this: print if ($N+1)..0; Any thoughts? Any other ideas? What would be the best way to do this? Regards, jac -- José Alves de Castro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://natura.di.uminho.pt/~jac
