rows

[Adam_Jacobsson]

I would like to find a commando that would enable me to exract a row from a textfile.

input:

1 1 1 1
2 2 2 2
3 3 3 3

output

2 2 2 2

Best wishes,
Adam

Hmmm, this looks like you're asking us to help you with your homework... Maybe you should read your coursebooks a bit more - but you could also try grep.

You could try with a combi of head and tail commands

I have no course and I have no coursebook. I'm just in need of creating a small bash script and I have very little time to browse through the litterature.

It seemed to be a very simple problem so I figured that someone who knows linux could solve it in a few seconds while I have already spent some hours with the script. I would be very thankfull for the help.

This should work:
$ head -n <filename> | tail -1

where n= the number of the row to be printed
