Useless use of cat...
'cat' is a command for catenating files (the counterpart of 'split').
Catenating one file with nothing makes no sense at all.
The good-style way of doing it is:
head -n 17361 mesh2.pov | tail -n `expr 17361 - 8605`
However, that command still has useless junk. You can do it like this:
head -17361 mesh2.pov | tail +8756
(if you want to keep the calculation, you can do it more efficiently like
this, at least in zsh:
head -17361 mesh2.pov | tail +${17361-8605}
)
