how to remove X lines from output
 

Hello,

I would like to know how to remove X lines from output.

lets say i have a test file and i want the output without the first 2 lines

[root@node1 ~]# cat test
1
2
3
4
2
1


maybe it is very easy but i could not find the solution.

Thanks in advance.

So you have searched extensively and found nothing? I find this a little hard to believe.

How about http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+remo...es+from+output

Try this:
PS: Mark you post as solved if it is.

lol, right i found solution with grep -v or nl and grep -v but it wont work with this file because i want to reduce the first 2 lines exactly not with some filters as the real file data is changing
maybe if there would be an option like grep -v with head -v

awk alright thanks

useless use of cat
