How to get the last line of a file using cat command
Don't have enough reputation to comment Mureinik's post to answer your last question, but if you want to display a part of a file between known lines, you can try sed -n '<line1>,<line2>p <filename>
.
If you don't know the lines, mix tail
and sed
: For your file :
tail -r test.properties | sed -n '2p'
