 1      32.3kB  65.5GB  65.5GB  primary  ext3         boot 
 2      65.5GB  67.7GB  2147MB  primary  linux-swap        
 3      67.7GB  500GB   432GB   primary  ext3

I need the lines exactly the partition informations as:

1      32.3kB  65.5GB  65.5GB  primary  ext3         boot 
2      65.5GB  67.7GB  2147MB  primary  linux-swap        
3      67.7GB  500GB   432GB   primary  ext3           

How can i get that one.. Someone please help me out.....

# awk ' $1 ~ /^[0-9]/' file
 1      32.3kB  65.5GB  65.5GB  primary  ext3         boot
 2      65.5GB  67.7GB  2147MB  primary  linux-swap
 3      67.7GB  500GB   432GB   primary  ext3
#

# cat file
Model: ATA WDC WD5000AAKS-0 (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 500GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B

Number  Start   End     Size    Type     File system  Flags

 2      65.5GB  67.7GB  2147MB  primary  linux-swap
 3      67.7GB  500GB   432GB   primary  ext3

if output came from another command just pipe it to awk

Edit: or use grep:

# grep '^.[0-9]' file
 1      32.3kB  65.5GB  65.5GB  primary  ext3         boot
 2      65.5GB  67.7GB  2147MB  primary  linux-swap
 3      67.7GB  500GB   432GB   primary  ext3
#

I forgot about sed:

$ sed -n '/^.[0-9]/p' file
 1      32.3kB  65.5GB  65.5GB  primary  ext3         boot
 2      65.5GB  67.7GB  2147MB  primary  linux-swap
 3      67.7GB  500GB   432GB   primary  ext3
$

Kind regards,

Hi,

you can try this

cat filename|tail +7|head -3

grep -v "^$" filename|sed -n '6,8p'
