Let's say that one has some text files.

Ha, ha! On Microslop the concept of a "text" file is almost
non-existent with all being relegated to the native, and total
junk, Notepad.

On GNU/Linux, however, text is the "lingua franca" and includes
everything from programming/script source files to configuration
files to (post-formatted) document files to bona-fide databases.

Let's further say that one desires to output these text files
to include line numbers. Furthermore, let's say that some text
files should include blank lines in the numbering while other
text files should exclude blank lines in the numbering.

How can one (quickly) do this?

On GNU/Linux it is an extremely simple matter.

On Microslop? You'd better call tech support and search the
Microslop "store" with an open wallet.

Haaaaaaaaa, heeeeeeee, ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

I think it's pretty clear that he is.

1) You appear to have just read the man page for cat(1). How many
years did you use Unix before knowing about those option?

2) You've apparently never heard of Cygwin.

3) You've apparently not heard that
Linux is a subsystem for Windows now.

4) How long had you used Unix before you knew that kill -1 0 will
send SIGHUP to all the processes in the current process group? (Useful
for scripts with co-processes...)

For dali_timer.sh .

That's the WRONG tool for the job. It's like using pliers
to remove a bolt. It'll work but it's far from being the best.

The CORRECT tool is nl.

Now get back to your Ubuntu guide books. After a few more
years of study you may begin to look like a Unix novice.

Haaaaaaaaaa, heeeee, ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

You left out a who lot of stuff. BTW, why would you use nl if cat can
do the job?

Let's recap what you cowardly snipped:

Wow, that shut up Vux's piehole.

In another thread, I saw that loser trying to cajole someone to post their
personal documents, as if yelling about something outrageous
makes it okay. (The Cheeto Benito school of rhetoric, no doubt.)

"it" refers to "something outrageous"

Read the man pages for each.

Read them using either coolman or tkman, both highly underrated
GNI/Linux wonders (see my upcoming posts).

Cygwin/WSL is like having some fat, ugly, stupid, old bitch (Microslop)
squeeze on a pair of sleek, skin-tight yoga pants (GNU/Linux).

The end result is far more disgusting than it is comical.

Because my system is perfectly constructed and customized I NEVER have
to manually terminate processes.
