Cut the first 100 characters of file

Hello all,

I have a file and would like to cut the first 100 characters of the first line. I tried it with the ‘cut’-command:

Code:
cut –c100- $file > $file.tmp

But this does not work, because it will cut the first 100 characters of each line. But I need to cut them only from the beginning of the file – so only from the first line.

Do you have a solution for this?
