Have a look at sed. Sorry can't help with syntax and I'm sure one can also do the same with perl or awk or whatever. But for the first, man (1) sed will help with 'cat yourfile | sed -youroptions' e.g. You can also use vi (if it's a regular textfile with less than hundreds of megs), find your endpoint with e.g "/YourEndKeyWord" and do in instruction mode a "dG", after that save. -Harry > > > __________________________________ > Do you Yahoo!? > New Yahoo!
