[ale] Bash script question

[bkruger at mindspring.com (Bob Kruger)]

All;

I need to parse some simple text files.  I would like to do this in the BASH shell and not have to invoke Perl, AWK, etc.  I did the same a couple of years ago, but lost the code.

If I have a text file that has, for example, 6 lines, and I want to parse field in the 4th line, what can I run from the BASH shell to print out only the 4th line?

V/r
