Yes, it was a similar kind of file that has been posted before.

Its a txt file.
I normally edit with vi, but this file being so gigantic, I cannot edit the file and encountered with an error.
The file which am trying to edit has about 10 million records in it.

Editing required:
1. I need to cut the very first few lines and copy them into a seperate file.
2. Need to replace the data with some data for the 9th million record.

Any help would be really appreciated.
