Frequently Asked Questions

Are line numbers 0-indexed or 1-indexed?

1-indexed - line 1 is the first line, matching the convention of every editor's 'go to line' box and sed.

What happens if the end line is past the last line?

You get everything from the start line to the end of the input. No error - the tool clamps the range to what exists.

Is the range inclusive of both ends?

Yes - selecting 5 to 10 returns six lines (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10).

Can I extract non-contiguous ranges, like lines 1-5 and 20-25?

Not in one pass - run the tool twice and concatenate the results. A multi-range mode is on the wish list.
