How can I get just a specific part of the source code of a website without having to get the whole document with wget and then grep? I only need a small part and getting the whole source code causes a lot traffic.

Is there a possibility to stop reading the source code when I got the part I want? I just need the first few lines...

You can add a call to head in your pipeline, to keep only lines at the head of the output.
