Value of Line Number x 1

[Michael42]

Hello (again),

I have one more stumper today...

Using a bourne script, how can I get the value of an item at a particular line number in a text list file?

My File

apples
oranges
pears

How can I get the value of the contents of line 2?

Thanks,

Michael42

 # print line number 52
 sed -n '52p'                 # method 1
 sed '52!d'                   # method 2
 sed '52q;d'                  # method 3, efficient on large files
