Re: How to print all lines of a file starting from line number X

How do print all lines which start at a certain line until the last
line?

There are probably a thousand ways, but here's one.
If X is the number of the first line you want to see, then
sed -n X,$p filename

For example:

sadalsuud:~$ wc -l /usr/dict/words
38619 /usr/dict/words
sadalsuud:~$ sed -n -e 38617,\$p /usr/dict/words
zoom
zooms
zoos

Observe that you must escape the $ because it has special meaning to
the shell.
