Reply: (edit)It depends upon how you want to recognize the specific line. Do you want the fourth line from a file?? Do you want a line that contains a specific phrase?

Reply: (edit)How about combination of head and tile in a pipe?
Say, you need 4th line: head -n 4 your_file | tail -n 1

Reply: (edit)How about extracting the last line of a file. For example, I'm ftp'ing a file from UNIX to an NT box and an extra line is being added to the end of the file on the NT box. All it is is a blank line. I'm guessing this is a tranmission issue but does anyone know how to correct it? Please let me know your thoughts... Thanks!!!
