> A utility for numbering lines, either from a file, or from standard input.
|
|
|
|
- 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}}`
