get-content parameters question - I want to ignore the first three lines of a text file, output the text file to another...

i have question smart people;

i have need manipulate a text file.  nothing i've seen in (get-help) get-content seems answer question have; know it's simple syntax wise don't know how pose interpreter.

i want take text file, read in, write out after deleting first 3 lines (up , including carriage return character..

example:

--file begin--

blah blah blah

this not important

another bunch of junk

the real data....

--file end--

so output file should read:

--file begin--

the real data....

--file end--

from powershell, think preliminarily command read:

get-content filename.txt {unknown parameters}| set-content outfile.txt

i see through get-help can grab first nn lines -totalcount parameter.  see can grab first nn lines combining -totalcount parameter in command parantheses , outside of parantheses [-1] grab last line of nn specified.

i see there's exclude parameter not seeing how use command ignore first nn lines , output.  has drop dead simple i'm not finding section.

:(

oook got it.. everyone's use, here's command....

(get-content 2.txt|where {$_.readcount -lt 1 -or $_.readcount -gt 3})|set-content outfile.txt

where 2.txt input file 3 lines of garbage @ top, , outfile.txt stuff want.

thanks reading!
