How to grep a string after a specified line number?

grep, linux, search, string

Solution

You can tail it, then grep:

tail -n +50000 myfile.txt | grep -in "time spent"

Problem

I have a large text file, I want to see the lines containing `"time spent"` in this text file, I use: ``` grep -in "time spent" myfile.txt ``` But I'm interested only in the lines after 50000. In the output I want to see lines after 50000 and that contain "time spent". Is there a way to do this?
