How to get the last lines of a file except the first 20?


Say I have a file with any number of lines, say, 125. I want to get all the lines except the first n, say, 20. So, I want lines 21–125.

Is there a way to do this with with tail/head, or some other tool?


Solution

  • Try

    tail -n +21 myfile.txt
