How to Use the Text Line Range Extractor
When you only need a specific section of lines from a log file or a long document, scrolling and copying it out manually is tedious and easy to get wrong. Paste your source text here, enter a start and end line number, and this tool extracts exactly the lines in that range into a separate result box.
Line numbers are counted starting at 1 for the first line, and the number of lines included in the range is shown alongside the result so you can immediately confirm what was extracted. If the end line number you enter is larger than the actual total number of lines, it's automatically clipped to the last line, so you don't need to count the total in advance.
This is handy for sharing just one section of a code log, or for pulling only the rows you need out of a large data file to move elsewhere.
