sed -n '16224,16482 p' orig-data-file > new-file

其中16224、16482是起始行号和结束行号，包括。这是1索引。-n抑制将输入回显为输出，这显然不是你想要的;数字表示要执行以下命令的行范围;命令p输出相关的行。

在这种情况下，您可以使用sed命令，它非常快。

如前所述，让我们假设范围是:在16224和16482行之间

#get the lines from 16224 to 16482 and prints the values into filename.txt file
        sed -n '16224 ,16482p' file.txt > filename.txt 
    
#Additional Info to showcase other possible scenarios:
    
#get the 16224 th line and writes the value to filename.txt

        sed -n '16224p' file.txt > filename.txt 

#get the 16224 and 16300 line values only and write to filename.txt. 

        sed -n '16224p;16300p;' file.txt > filename.txt

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

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

输出:

$ seq 20 | ./body.sh 5 15
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14

$ seq 20 | ./body.sh 5 -5

站在拳击手的肩膀上，我喜欢这样:

sed -n '<first line>,$p;<last line>q' input

e.g.

sed -n '16224,$p;16482q' input

$表示“最后一行”，因此第一个命令使sed打印从第16224行开始的所有行，第二个命令使sed在打印第16428行之后退出。(在boxxar的解决方案中，为q范围添加1似乎没有必要。)

我喜欢这个变体，因为我不需要两次指定结束行号。而且我认为使用$不会对性能产生不利影响。

那些想要计算头部、|、尾部组合的间隔的人是想多了。

下面是如何在不计算任何东西的情况下得到“16224 - 16482”范围:

cat file | head -n +16482 | tail -n +16224

解释:

The + instructs the head/tail command to "go up to / start from" (respectively) the specified line number as counted from the beginning of the file. Similarly, a - instructs them to "go up to / start from" (respectively) the specified line number as counted from the end of the file The solution shown above simply uses head first, to 'keep everything up to the top number', and then tail second, to 'keep everything from the bottom number upwards', thus defining our range of interest (with no need to compute an interval).
