Hey there,
tail -n + NUM does not return the desired output. +NUM starts from the top
of the file, not from the bottom.
So for example, given the following file:
>this
>is
>an
>example
>file
>each
>word
>represents
>a
>line
and executing tail -n +3 example, I am getting
>example
>file
>each
>word
>represents
>a
>line
instead of
>this
>is
>an
>example
>file
>each
>word
I am using *tail (GNU coreutils) 8.28 *in latest ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Thanks in advance for looking into this :)
