IBM Insert a line in a file by deleting that line from another file

Hi all,

I have a huge file(size more that 5GB).
I want to do some manupulation with the records and write to another file.
As the size of the file is huge and there is a space constraint in that directory, I want to delete that record from first file after writing it in to second file.
Example:-
Code:
cat first.dat | while read line
do
echo $line| .........    >> second.dat
# Here after writing to second file i want to delete the same record from first.dat
done

can anyone please help me on this???

thanks in adv....
