The best thing to do would be something like: vi filename :1,5d :x!
That would do the trick. Also this: *****************************************************************************
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict my $ind=1; open FILE1,"/file1/path"||die "Cannot open file1:$!\n"; open FILE2,">/file2/path"||die "Cannot open file2:$!\n";
# Skip 5 lines
for($ind=1;$ind<=5;$ind++) { <FILE1>; }
# copy files
while (<FILE1>) { print FILE2 $_; }
print "I'm all done\n";
