I have a big text file I want to print only the first 4 and the first 5 and the first 8 characters of each line in one command line.



For example
I have the lines:



123456789ab
ABCdefgih55



So the output have to be:
1234
ABCd
12345
ABCde
12345678
ABCdefgh



THANKS

However, on my Manjaro arch Linux config, this behavior does not work by default and I can only use the touchpad, no numpad.

EDIT1: I have had a look at the official Windows drivers for the UX433FA TouchPad, but was not able to make anything of it.
