inputfile:
A B C D
E F G H
1 2 3 4
-----------
I want to read these and put them into a variable:
file=../inputfile
col2line1=`cat $file | awk '{print $2}'`
how do i extract row 2's E,F,G,H or row 3's 1,2,3,4???
I tried the search, didn't get much, maybe i suck at searching too :o
always go here first
it's kind of funny cus i actually spent about 30 mins on google before i came back on here...
but i think i got something that will improvise...i'll post something back if it works as expected or not...thanks

Print the second line:
perl -ne 'print if 2..2' $file
Print lines 2 to 10:
perl -ne 'print if 2..10' $file
etc.
