bash - How to using a file as input to program starting from specific line in command? - Ask Ubuntu
to use file input program, < operator can used.
for example,
xmacroplay "$display" < input.txt however, there command specify if don't want use whole file, take lines input?
some like,
xmacroplay "$display" < input.txt --starting_line=100 --ending_line=120 (this surely won't work, want know if there option that)
use sed or tool filter out specific line , pipe command. example, following send 10th , 13th lines of file xmacroplay:
sed -n '10p; 13p' input.txt | xmacroplay "$display" --starting_line=100 --ending_line=120 or in awk:
awk 'nr == 10 || nr == 13' input.txt | xmacroplay "$display" --starting_line=100 --ending_line=120 if, reason, cannot use pipe, use process substitution:
xmacroplay "$display" --starting_line=100 --ending_line=120 < <(sed -n '10p; 13p' input.txt)
