delete lines

[ecmanfr]

Hello,

In a file I would like delete the last 2 lines, and the other file I would like delete the 2 first lines and concat the 2 files

Thank You.

In an unix shell:
(sed '$d' /path/to/input1 | sed '$d'; sed '1,2$' /path/to/input2) >/path/to/output

Hope This Helps, PH.

ecmanfr.awk:
NR==FNR{a[++i]=$0;next}
FNR==3{for(j=1;j<i-1;++j)print a[j]}
{print}

awk95 -f ecmanfr.awk file1 file2 > output

Hope This Helps, PH.
