I need to read in a list from a file, but I want to always ignore/skip the first line of this file.
Right now I'm just cat'ing the file and awk'ing the first column as that's all I need. However, this will also give me the first column of the first line which I do not want.
The first entry will probably be the same value everytime, so I could put a test in to skip that, but wondered if there was another quicker way and so that I'm not always testing every value.
