is there another method?
dd also works. Use "skip" and "count".
dd --help
Usage: dd [OPTION]...
Copy a file, converting and formatting according to the options.
bs=BYTES force ibs=BYTES and obs=BYTES
cbs=BYTES convert BYTES bytes at a time
conv=KEYWORDS convert the file as per the comma separated keyword list
count=BLOCKS copy only BLOCKS input blocks
ibs=BYTES read BYTES bytes at a time
if=FILE read from FILE instead of stdin
obs=BYTES write BYTES bytes at a time
of=FILE write to FILE instead of stdout
seek=BLOCKS skip BLOCKS obs-sized blocks at start of output
skip=BLOCKS skip BLOCKS ibs-sized blocks at start of input
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
Cheers,
Dave
