Hi all,

I have about eighty directories,
called data-nn, where nn=00,01,02,....
in each of these directories I have
among others, an (ascii) data file with many thousends
lines. This data file has the same name in all
directories.

I would like to know if it is possible,
via a bash script, to delete the first N
lines in this data file in all directories.
The modified file can overwrite the old one.

Many thanks in advance,

Fabio Zyserman
