Unix Command to View Single Line

Try this:

cat file_name | head –n 5000 | tail –n 1

or

head –n 5000 file_name | tail –n 1

'head -n 5000' gets the first 5000 lines from the file and then pipes to 'tail -n 1' to get the last line of of the first 5000 lines. Evetually, it will show only the 5000th line.
