Hello - Can you please give me the exact sed command to remove 1st line from a set of files. Basically I have a bunch of csv files and they do contain header as their 1st line. I first want to delete their headers and then merge all of those files into a single file. Thanks for your help in advance!

I don't think we support this with shell.sed(). You could try something with shell.tail(), but you'll have to count the number of lines yourself and do math to figure out how many lines to print (until issue #984 is fixed).

Thanks for your response. I was trying sed with different patterns of '1d' hoping that it would delete the first line. Your response helps me understand why it did not.
