Remove First Line in File 2

[Michael42]

Hello,

From a Bourne shell script how can I remove the first line in a file?

The file is simply a verticle list created by a program but the first line unfortunately is a blank space.

Thanks,

sed version:

#!/bin/sh
 
sed '1d' file.with_first_blank_line > test.without_first_blank_line
