| Feb 28, 2013 at 14:42 | comment | added | Bernhard | @Gilles Thanks for the hint, didn't find that one. Only the mentioned solutions don't work with a pipe. E.g. if I do ./lotsofoutput | first_last - it will only perform the head operation. | |
| Feb 28, 2013 at 14:41 | comment | added | vonbrand | @Bernhard, I'm no sed(1) expert, but there are ways of stashing stuff away for later use with it. Maybe it pays off to look in there. OTOH, I'd probably whip up a Perl (or whatever) script to do it if used frequently, as I'm more familiar with that. | |

| Feb 28, 2013 at 14:33 | comment | added | vonbrand | Your solution looks fine to me. If you want more convenience, make it into a shell function (even an alias might do). | |
