Answer / reddy

First check the filename how many records are there
wc -l finename
it will give count

then first check the filename if it has header and footer

If not use below unix commands

when we use wc -l filename, it will give count, for example we have 1000 records

Ans1: Head -3 filename.txt >Target1.txt
Ans2: Tail -3 filename.txt >Target3.txt
Ans3: sed -n '4,997p' filename >Target2.txt

Please correct me if i am wrong....
