Available Unix Command

[viclap]

Dear All,

I'm pretty new in Unix, I wanted to know any available Unix command that will give me only the portion of a textfile.
ex.
ABCDEFGHI
ABCDEFGHI
TEKTIPS
XXCCCCC
VVVVVVV
DDDDDDD
XXXXXXX
The command will display only the text from TEKTIPS and the succeeding text after TEKTIPS.

Needed much help for this.

You may try this:
awk '/TEKTIPS/{++a}a' /path/to/textfile
Or this:
sed -n '/TEKTIPS/,$p' /path/to/textfile

Hope This Helps, PH.

PHV,

Great answer! Thanks in a million! SED, I'll used SED (stream Editor) as my first exercise in UNIX.
