Hi Klashxx,

The command is serving the purpose but can you please let me know the meaning of the options supplied :

sed -n "linenumber p" filename

i know p option is to print ... but how does -n work.

This is only for my knowledge.

Thanks again !

The -n flag suppress automatic output of input lines.
