Delete first line of text file
Windows/command prompt:
more +1 filename.ext > otherfilename.extThat seems to work fine, however it appears that this also converts tab characters into multiple spaces..I needed to remove the first line of a tab-delimited file before importing into postgres.That failed due to the automatic conversion of tabs to spaces by more...
You didn't specify a platform. Here's how to do it in any *NIX environment (and Windows+Cygwin):
sed -i~ 1d target-file
To remove the first line, I would use
tail -n +2 source-file > target-fileIf you want this on Windows, download the gnu utils to obtain a tail command. +2 means "Start at the second line".
