I want to know how to quickly delete text with Bash. For example, I have a file named file.txt with a total of 500 lines.

I want to delete lines 80 to 146 - how do I do that?

What's is a terminal command that can do that?

With awk to print in terminal:

awk 'NR < 80 || NR > 146' file.txt

Or with gawk to edit file in-place:

gawk -i inplace 'NR < 80 || NR > 146' file.txt
