Hello,
When I am trying to use tail +13 filename.csv it is throwing an error.
tail: cannot open `+13' for reading: No such file or directory and then prints last 10 lines of the file. (File is present on the path)
But when i try tail -13 filename.csv it runs perfectly.
Could I have some help to understand what is the issue here.
+ may not be available in your tail command.Check man tail
In man tail..
I could see the following line:
If the first character of N (the number of bytes or lines) is a '+', print beginning with the Nth item from the start of each file,
otherwise, print the last N items in the file.
As per my understanding, if we use tail +13 it will ignore last 13 lines and will display the rest of the lines in the file.
actually this command displays all the records from line no. 13 till last record. Earlier it was running fine, not sure what's the issue now.
I have checked this with our admin and found out that new linux version (RHEL5) doesnot support head + or tail + command.
Thanks for your suggestions.
