I have this scenarios:

File Content:

10.1.1.1
10.1.1.2
10.1.1.3
10.1.1.4

I want sed or awk so that when i cat the file every time new line is returned.

like

First iteration:

cat ip | some magic
10.1.1.1

Second iteration returns
10.1.1.2
Third iteration returns
 10.1.1.3
Fourth iteration returns
10.1.1.4

and after n number of iterations, it returns to line 1

Fifth iteration returns:

10.1.1.1

Can we do it using sed or awk.
