Thanks all
This may be a stupid question....
Is there an easy way to cut off the first line of a file? cut and paste will manipulate columns, and head and tail will allow me extract them, but if I don't know the size of the file, is there any way to just chop off the top line?
I can think of a long involved way of using wc to get the number of lines, then piping tail -(number of lines minus 1).. but that seems overly complicated.
