Many people posted solutions with head and tail that don't work. Here is one that works: $ sed 1,10d < input.txt | tac | sed 1,10d | tac > output.txt Here is another one, faster but uglier: $ perl -ne 'print $l[$.%10] if ($. >= 10*2); $l[$.%10] = $_' input.txt > output.txt -- Dominique -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
