Removing the header from a file

Bkhanna · #1 (**permalink**) 08-10-04, 16:24

I have a text file that I am reading and outputting to another file after adding comma delimiters between each field. I have been able to do this part through a shell script using the echo function. I would also like to get rid of the header row in the new file within the same script. How can I do that?

Original File:

XXXX YYYYY ZZZZZ AAAAA
123 456 789 00011
345 678 233 00023

New File:

123,456,789,00011
345,678,233,00023

Try:

Code:

sed '1d' MyFile >NewFile
mv NewFile MyFile

how about all with one awk statement from the original file:

Code:

nawk -v OFS="," 'FNR != 1 && $1=$1' originalFile.txt
