Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Delete lines prior to a specific date in a log file. Post 302304296 by ahSher on Monday 6th of April 2009 04:54:25 AM

Hi. Thanks for the reply.

I tried and it did work to extract all logs after Jan 1. But I want the data from Jan 1 to remain in the original file. The command seems to only be able to pipe the output to another filename instead.

Any other options? Thanks!
