splitting array

Sorry I havent do this for quite a long while already, I intend to split a text into array
the text roughly looks like:

Code:

a

b

c

d

so far i came up with:

Code:

array=(echo $text | cut -d'

' f1)

the enter is the deliminator and f1 intends to cut out the first string, since -f1 means to take f1 only, so i thought it would be the other way around.

my intention is to make a new text that looks like:

Code:

b

c

d

so line a is deleted.

Thanks,
Ted

I am a bit lost? Are you saying you want to remove the 'a' line from the file? If so, can you not just use sed to delete the line?

Hi, thanks for the reply,
I did this:

Code:

echo ${text#*

}

use sed

Code:

sed -n '1!p' < text

or head

Code:

head -n1 < text
