Sed -n '16224,16482p' < dump.sql

cat dump.txt | head -16224 | tail -258

应该能行。这种方法的缺点是，您需要做算术来确定tail的参数，并考虑是否希望“between”包含结束行。

我编写了一个小型bash脚本，您可以从命令行运行它，只要您更新PATH以包含它的目录(或者您可以将它放在PATH中已经包含的目录中)。

用法:$ pinch filename起始行结束行

#!/bin/bash
# Display line number ranges of a file to the terminal.
# Usage: $ pinch filename start-line end-line
# By Evan J. Coon

FILENAME=$1
START=$2
END=$3

ERROR="[PINCH ERROR]"

# Check that the number of arguments is 3
if [ $# -lt 3 ]; then
    echo "$ERROR Need three arguments: Filename Start-line End-line"
    exit 1
fi

# Check that the file exists.
if [ ! -f "$FILENAME" ]; then
    echo -e "$ERROR File does not exist. \n\t$FILENAME"
    exit 1
fi

# Check that start-line is not greater than end-line
if [ "$START" -gt "$END" ]; then
    echo -e "$ERROR Start line is greater than End line."
    exit 1
fi

# Check that start-line is positive.
if [ "$START" -lt 0 ]; then
    echo -e "$ERROR Start line is less than 0."
    exit 1
fi

# Check that end-line is positive.
if [ "$END" -lt 0 ]; then
    echo -e "$ERROR End line is less than 0."
    exit 1
fi

NUMOFLINES=$(wc -l < "$FILENAME")

# Check that end-line is not greater than the number of lines in the file.
if [ "$END" -gt "$NUMOFLINES" ]; then
    echo -e "$ERROR End line is greater than number of lines in file."
    exit 1
fi

# The distance from the end of the file to end-line
ENDDIFF=$(( NUMOFLINES - END ))

# For larger files, this will run more quickly. If the distance from the
# end of the file to the end-line is less than the distance from the
# start of the file to the start-line, then start pinching from the
# bottom as opposed to the top.
if [ "$START" -lt "$ENDDIFF" ]; then
    < "$FILENAME" head -n $END | tail -n +$START
else
    < "$FILENAME" tail -n +$START | head -n $(( END-START+1 ))
fi

# Success
exit 0

Sed -n '16224,16482p' < dump.sql

也许，你会给这个简陋的脚本一个机会;-)

#!/usr/bin/bash

# Usage:
#   body n m|-m

from=$1
to=$2

if [ $to -gt 0 ]; then
# count $from the begin of the file $to selected line
    awk "NR >= $from && NR <= $to {print}"
else
# count $from the begin of the file skipping tailing $to lines
    awk '
    BEGIN   {lines=0; from='$from'; to='$to'}
            {++lines}
    NR >= $from {line[lines]=$0}
    END     {for (i = from; i < lines + to + 1; i++) {
                print line[i]
            }
    }'
fi

sed -n '16224,16482p;16483q' filename > newfile

来自sed手册:

p - Print out the pattern space (to the standard output). This command is usually only used in conjunction with the -n command-line option. n - If auto-print is not disabled, print the pattern space, then, regardless, replace the pattern space with the next line of input. If there is no more input then sed exits without processing any more commands. q - Exit sed without processing any more commands or input. Note that the current pattern space is printed if auto-print is not disabled with the -n option.

sed脚本中的地址可以是以下任何一种形式: 数量 指定行号将只匹配输入中的该行。 一个地址范围可以通过指定两个地址来指定 用逗号(，)分隔。地址范围匹配从 第一个地址匹配，并一直持续到第二个 地址匹配(包括)。
