perl -ne 'print if 16224..16482' file.txt > new_file.txt

awk还有另一种方法:

awk 'NR==16224, NR==16482' file

如果文件很大，最好在读取最后一行之后退出。这样，它就不会不必要地读取以下行:

awk 'NR==16224, NR==16482-1; NR==16482 {print; exit}' file

awk 'NR==16224, NR==16482; NR==16482 {exit}' file

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

接受答案中的-n起作用。如果你有兴趣的话，还有另一种方法。

cat $filename | sed "${linenum}p;d";

它的作用如下:

管道插入文件的内容(或根据需要输入文本)。 Sed选择给定的行，打印它 D必须删除行，否则sed将假定最终打印所有行。也就是说，如果没有d，你将得到被选中行打印的所有行打印两次，因为你有${linenum}p部分要求打印它。我很确定-n和这里的d是一样的。

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

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。
