What do you mean by "grep out" ? Do you want to display those lines, or skip those lines? Do you want to see the "bar" line? Is that included in the 5 lines? Anyway, you probably want to use "sed" here, rather than "grep". -- rgds Stephen _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
