    Hi Stuart,
     
        How about this
     
        # sed -n '/^STARTUP/,//p' < input > output
     
     
    Thanks,
     
    Sundar.

    I can't count lines. I don't know how many there will be, and the number
    could change. I have to key on the fact that the first line I want to keep
    is the
    "STARTUP" line.

    tail -n +N filename > filename.new
    cp filename.new filename

            Below are the first "N" lines of an Oracle database control file.

            I want to delete the first "N" lines, from the beginning of the file
    down to the 2nd "***" line, and copy the rest of the file to a new file.

            I have to do it in a batch job. I would normally do these kinds of
    things with sed, but I can't quite figure out how.

            How do I do that?
