Delete file by date or by size

Hi Everyone,

This forum has been a great help to me as a new newbie in Unix. Thanks to you all.

My ? now is I have a log file that help me keep track of errors within my program. But the size of the log file keeps growing and I am wondering if there is any command that will help me to limit the size of the log file to about 10,000 lines. Or since I capture both the date and time stamp and the error message, is there anyway I can write a code to help keep up to say about 10 days of error within my log file.

Thanks for your help.
