How do you use sed to perform like cat? and tail?
so like cat <filename> and tail -10 <filename>

Thanks!

The first is easy, just run `sed "" <filename>` and it'll just output every line in the file. As for doing a tail, I can't think of an easy way to do it. Think I found something on google while at the office, but right now I'm too tired(or lazy) to search for it again.

Easier answer, don't use sed for those two functions. :) Just use cat and tail, that's why they're there.
