Question easier if can see some sample lines of the file

but, in theory...
just split the file in two based on some critera

criteria will be effected by such things as:
(a) should it be run just monthly, or daily
(b) is the log file always open
--> this can cause some complications in the removal process
(c) is the posting date part of the record structure
