#print Just as you can print several lines at once by giving a range of addresses with the 'p' command, you can delete several lines at once by giving two addresses. For example, 2,5d deletes lines 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the current file. The command 1,.-1d deletes all lines up to but not including the current line. And 1,$d deletes EVERY line. (Use with extreme caution, obviously.) There is a file named 'counties' in this directory. Throw away the first five lines of it and rewrite it. Then type 'ready' as usual. #create Ref Morris Warren Union Somerset Hunterdon #create counties Bergen Passaic Sussex Hudson Essex Morris Warren Union Somerset Hunterdon #pipe #user #unpipe #cmp counties Ref #log #next 20.1a 10 20.2a 5
