> A utility for numbering lines, either from a file, or from standard input.
- Number lines in a file:
- Number non-blank lines in a file:
`nl {{file}}`
- Read from standard output:
`cat {{file}} | nl {{options}} -`
- Number only the lines with printable text:
`nl -t {{file}}`
- Number all lines including blank lines:
`nl -b a {{file}}`
- Number only the body lines that match a basic regular expression (BRE) pattern:
`nl -b p'FooBar[0-9]' {{file}}`
