Re: reading the file using the line number

in reply to reading the file using the line number

inspired by tom christiansens oneliners:

perl -ne 'print if $. == $number; exit if $. > $number;'

Edit: corrected typo, thx to davorg

[davorg]

perl -ne 'print if $. = $number; exit if $. > $number;'

You probably want '==', not '=', there.
