Print certain lines only ?

[beaster]

I want to know how I can print only certain lines in a file? Say, if I only want to redirect lines:

2, 3, 5, 7, and 14?

I know in sed you can only print a range like 2-15, but I want to redirect only certain lines. I cant fgrep or grep because there is never the same variables in the file. It is always different. Thanks, BeasteR

Try with:

awk 'NR==2||NR==3||NR==5||NR==7||NR==14' <file>

Perfect, that is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks it works great!

You can also do this :

awk '&quot; &quot;NR&quot; &quot; ~ /[ 2 3 5 7 14 ]/' file
