Trim file with sed
|
|
| km_jr_usenet@yahoo.com 2005-10-28, 8:48 pm |
| Hi all,
I have a file format where two parts are delimited by a newline (\n)
character. I need to get the file after the \n character. I tried this
but it gets me the \n character too in o/p.
E.g. if file is
a
b
c
d
e
then I want
d
e
as o/p.
I tried this sed expression -- sed -n '/^$/,$p' <file> but it doesn't
do the desired effect. Can anyone help me here?
Thanks.

What about 1,/^$/d (untested, also unsire if all sed's accept this
addressing mixture).
