Hi all,

I find often that I want to use standard tools to do a simple repetitive
task but can't conceptualize the way to achieve it.


I have 20 text files with text to delete on top and on bottom.

I know that head and tail both will Show me the parts I want to delete,
but not delete them.
cut deletes but I don't see how it does it by line.

Are these the right tools to do what I want?

for example text file A.

lines 1-12 delete
line 30-35 delete

What is the strategey I should use to acheve this?
