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.

perl -ne '746..1000 and print' text_file

[Deepak Extross]

Yet another..
head -1000 | tail -254

Hi

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

OR

head -1000 filename | tail +746

will work
