Read a line in a txt file with bash
 

Hi all!

First excuse me for my bad english, but i'm french.

Well... let's stick to the question. In fact I'm looking for a unix command that would allow me to display a precise line of a text file in the console in order to do a grep on an other file to check if the line is in the second file too.

I first planed to use diff to compare my files, but it does'nt match my needs.

Something like that would be perfect:

Command -line_number file.txt.

Thank you ;-)

Try this:
Replace the # with a number. Hence, to return line 52, you'd use:
