Ed-
The simple version...
Put that line in a script (called delines).

Then execute "delines 100"

sed '1,$1d' < test1.txt

$1 will equal 100 ($1 being the first argument).

Subject: Using the SED Command (Unix)

To All,
I want to delete the first 100 lines out of a text file using sed. I
typed the following sed command:

sed '1,100d' < test1.txt

Does sed allow you to use a variable instead of using the "100"? If
so, how do you use it?
