And i want to only output the first, second, and fourth line to another
file.

The:

sed -n '1,2p;4p' file.txt

doesn't work.

What magic do i need for it? :D

Thanks..:\

<file.text perl -e'while (<STDIN>) {print if $.==1 or $. == 2 or $. == 4;}'

or perl -ne 'print if grep {$. == $_} 1,2,4' file.txt
