`{{command}} | nl`
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
`nl {{[-b|--body-numbering]}} {{a|n}} {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Number only the body lines that match a basic `regex` (BRE) [p]attern:
|
|
|
|
`nl {{[-b|--body-numbering]}} p'FooBar[0-9]' {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|

`nl {{[-i|--line-increment]}} {{increment}} {{path/to/file}}`
|
|
|
|
- Specify the line numbering format to [r]ight or [l]eft justified, keeping leading [z]eros or [n]ot:

|
|
