ddd
eee
fff
ggg
hhh
iii
kkk
lll
mmm
nnnNot to print the last 3 lines use the head command with a negative integer number as input
cat file.txt | head -n -3
aaa
bbb
ccc
ddd
eee
fff
ggg
hhh
iii
kkkNot to print the first 3 lines use the tail command like this, with the plus symbol
cat a.txt | head -n -3 | tail -n +4

eee
fff
