Mohmmed,

I would use sed to that job for me.

sed -n '746,1000p' yourfile

That's quite simple:

awk '{if (NR >= 746 && NR <= 1000) print $0}' < myfile

Hi Mohmmed AbdulSattar

cat a |sed -n "746,1000p"

should give you the answer. Why are you using awk , it is easier for sed to handle this.

Hi

awk 'NR >= 746 && NR <= 1000' filename

OR

head -1000 filename | tail +746

will work
