Is there any bash command that will let you get the nth line of STDOUT?
That is to say, something that would take this
$ ls -l
-rw-r--r--@ 1 root wheel my.txt
-rw-r--r--@ 1 root wheel files.txt
-rw-r--r--@ 1 root wheel here.txt
and do something like
$ ls -l | magic-command 2
-rw-r--r--@ 1 root wheel files.txt
I realize this would be bad practice when writing scripts meant to be reused, BUT when working with the shell day to day it’d be useful to me to be able to filter my STDOUT in such a way.
I also realize this would be semi-trivial command to write (buffer STDOUT, return a specific line), but I want to know if there’s some standard shell command to do this that would be available without me dropping a script into place.
