Hi I tried the below shell code. But it removed only first line. Thanks

#!/bin/sh

sed -e '1d;$d' /home/file_20140407.txt >>file_20140407_n.txt

Works for me ...

$ sed -e '1d;$d' jaxws/src/share/jaxws_classes/com/sun/xml/internal/me
+ssaging/saaj/soap/SOAPDocumentFragment.java > t
$ diff jaxws/src/share/jaxws_classes/com/sun/xml/internal/messaging/sa
+aj/soap/SOAPDocumentFragment.java t
1d0
< /*
45d43
< }

Does your file have a newline as the last character ? You'll experience problems if not.

I am not seeing any characters at the end of the line when I open in edit plus
