I have a file that has around million lines. I need to go to line number 320123 to check the data. How do I do that?

To do this, press Esc , type the line number, and then press Shift-g . If you press Esc and then Shift-g without specifying a line number, it will take you to the last line in the file. To look for the next occurrence after the first, either press n or press / again and then press Enter .
The -n ( or --line-number ) option tells grep to show the line number of the lines containing a string that matches a pattern. When this option is used, grep prints the matches to standard output prefixed with the line number.
The Vim goto line number command One can use the G letter. For example, press [ESC] key and type 10G (Shift-g) goto line number 10.
With n being the line number:
ng: Jump to line number n. Default is the start of the file.nG: Jump to line number n. Default is the end of the file.So to go to line number 320123, you would type 320123g.

To open at a specific line straight from the command line, use:
less +320123 filename If you want to see the line numbers too:
less +320123 -N filename You can also choose to display a specific line of the file at a specific line of the terminal, for when you need a few lines of context. For example, this will open the file with line 320123 on the 10th line of the terminal:
less +320123 -j 10 filename If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
