Multiple sed commands.......... 1

[jdespres]

I would like to perform the following on the output of a command ::--->

Remove the top 5 lines..........
Remove the bottom 2 lines....
Reverse line order

I created the following sed file ::--->

1,5d
N;$!P;$!D;$d
1!G;h;$!d

command | sed -e cleanup.sed

Doesn't seem to work....

Any ideas?

Thanks....

What about this ?
command | awk '{x[NR]=$0}END{for(i=NR-2;i>5;--i)print x}'

Hope This Helps, PH.

That worked!

I ran a awk command prior to my sed....

awk '{print $1, $4, $5}'

can this be included?

Thanks...

jdespres:

I prefer the awk solution, but sed is possible:

sed -e '6,$!d' -e 'N;$!P;$!D;$d' mydata.txt|sed '1!G;h;$!d'
