Try looking at 'man head' or 'man tail'

Or ... why not just write a small Python or Perl app to do it for you?

Hi Friends,
I am running RedHat Linux 8.0. I want to do the following .

I have a file with several lines of data in it. I want to extract a line
I want from the file
and display the whole line of data. 'grep' searches only for patterns,as
I believe. I don't want to search for patterns.
I just directly want to extract the data by line numbers.For example, I
want to get the data in line number 5.

How can I do this? Is there any command to do this? Please help me. I
hope I am clear.

Thanks,
Pradeep
