Best Answer

Are you asking for a sample line from a Shakespeare play? Surely not,since all you have to do is to pick a line at random from a print or online copy of any of Shakespeare's plays.

Or maybe you are asking what counts as a line when we say something like "Hamlet has 1495 lines." Well, it can mean two things. First, when actors talk, they call the next thing they say a line, no matter how long it is. It can be one word or two pages long. It doesn't matter, it's the next thing they say until someone else talks or they exit the stage.

But also there is that system by which every line of verse in the verse sections of Shakespeare's plays is counted as a separate line. (It doesn't work so well in the prose sections) By this method, Hamlet's "To be or not to be" speech is 33 lines long. This is the kind of line they are talking about when they say that Hamlet has 1495 lines.

What line is necessary at the beginning of a script to tell the OS what to use to run the script?

The special line at the beginning of the script is only necessary if you want the script to be run by a certain command interpreter that is different from your logon shell or because you don't know what environment the user of the shell might be running in. It is a special comment line that looks like: #!/command-name such as: #!/usr/bin/ksh which causes the ksh interpreter to be used for the rest of the shell script.
