Simple Linux Question of the Day: I have a text file, from which I would like to remove the first line. So far, this is what I've got: wc -l input.file\|xargs tail -n > output.file which is stupid, because I'm just copying the file, I know. I need a way to reduce by one the value returned by wc. Can anyone help me?
