I need to print $1 lines from a file, and then delete that number of
lines.
$1 has been derived in the prior line with
wc -l sourcefile.txt | awk '{$1 /= 4 ; $1 = int($1) ; print $1 }'
I've tried numerous awk and sed statements, a la:
sed -e -n "$1,p" sourcefile.txt > list.1
sed -i "$1d" sourcefile.txt
sed $1q list.txt > list.1 & sed -i $1d sourcefile.txt
awk "{(FNR < $1); print}" sourcefile.txt > list.1
Your help would be appreciated. Thank you.
