how to read file from line x to the end of a file in bash

Question

I would like know how I can read each line of a csv file from the second line to the end of file in a bash script.

I know how to read a file in bash:

while read line  do       echo -e "$line\n" done < file.csv 

But, I want to read the file starting from the second line to the end of the file. How can I achieve this?

Answer 1

tail -n +2 file.csv 

From the man page:

-n, --lines=N      output the last N lines, instead of the last 10 ...  If the first character of N (the number of bytes or lines)  is  a  '+', print  beginning with the Nth item from the start of each file, other- wise, print the last N items in the file. 

In English this means that:

tail -n 100 prints the last 100 lines

tail -n +100 prints all lines starting from line 100
