我已经为sed、perl、head+tail和我自己的awk代码编译了一些最高评级的解决方案，并通过管道关注性能，同时使用LC_ALL=C确保所有候选程序以尽可能快的速度运行，并在两者之间分配2秒的睡眠间隔。

差距是显而易见的:

   abs time    awk/app speed ratio
 ----------------------------------
   0.0672 sec :   1.00x mawk-2
   0.0839 sec :   1.25x gnu-sed
   0.1289 sec :   1.92x perl
   0.2151 sec :   3.20x gnu-head+tail

还没有机会测试这些工具的python或BSD变体。

又快又脏:

head -16428 < file.in | tail -259 > file.out

可能不是最好的方法，但应该有用。

顺便说一下:259 = 16482-16224+1。

我一直在寻找这个问题的答案，但最终我不得不编写自己的代码。以上的答案都不令人满意。 假设您有一个非常大的文件，并且有一些想要打印的行号，但这些行号不是按顺序排列的。您可以执行以下操作:

我的文件比较大 对于{a..k};执行echo $letter;完成| cat -n > myfile.txt

 1  a
 2  b
 3  c
 4  d
 5  e
 6  f
 7  g
 8  h
 9  i
10  j
11  k

我想要的具体行号: shuf -i 1-11 -n 4 > line_numbers_I_want.txt

 10
 11
 4
 9

要打印这些行号，请执行以下操作。 awk ` {system("head myfile.txt -n " $0 " | tail -n 1")} ` line_numbers_I_want.txt

上面所做的是头n行，然后采取最后一行使用尾巴

如果您希望行号按顺序排列，首先sort (is -n numeric sort)，然后获取行。

cat line_numbers_I_want.txt | sort -n | awk '{system("head myfile.txt -n " $0 " | tail -n 1")}'

 4  d
 9  i
10  j
11  k

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
15

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

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 '16224,16482 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。
