If you wish to ignore lines at the start of output or in the beginning of a
file, you can use the more
command to do so. E.g., suppose I have a text file named fruit.txt
that contains the following lines:
apple banana clementine date eggplant fig grape
On a Linux,
Unix, or
OS X/macOS
system, if I want to see all lines of the file but the first one, I can use
the +n, where n is a number, argument to the
more command. In this case, I can use more +2 fruit.txt
to start the output at the second line in the file.
$ more +2 fruit.txt banana clementine date eggplant fig grape $
If I wanted to ignore the first four lines and start output at the fifth
line, I could use more +5.
$ more +5 fruit.txt eggplant fig grape $
