Raw
gistfile1.txt
# show lines 1000-1010 in "filename" file
sed -n '{1000,+100p}' filename
# another option is more simplistic syntax:
sed -n 1000,+10p filename
# also display line numbers:
sed -n '1000,+10{p;=}' filename
# other useful one-liners are available here: http://sed.sourceforge.net/sed1line.txt
