In the man pages of tail, it says "-n" option outputs last N lines...i didnt find the option of giving +2/-2 sort of thing. I think the switch "-n" accepts an integer, how does it work?
B/w I need a similar help, In a file I have a line something like "set abc 1", i want to replace this line with "set abc 0". I have some 100's of files like this i want to replace all such occurrences, irrespective of what the line number is.
