Hi eveyrone

I need to create a script that deletes rows from a given csv file at a given position.
So for example:

my file.csv has 5000 rows..
0 ..

1024 ..
1025 ..

5000.

but I only want 0 to 1024. Anyone know how I can do this?

Ed.

Or, shorter:
Code:
sed '1,1024!d' input.file >> output.file

Hey everyone,

How do I make the 1024 to a variable I can get from a bash script?

sed -n '1,1024p' < input.file >>output.file

count=1024
sed -n 1,"$count"p < input.file >>output.file

:-/ I noticed you numbered lines from 0. In such a case, you have to use 1025 as the value!
