[B]You could do any of the following or a combination -
This one grabs the last 5000 lines and copies to tmp file - then you copy it back to the original - it removes everything in the original and replaces it with only those 5000 lines.
# tail -5000 rptlog1 > rptlog.tmp
# cat rptlog.tmp > rptlog1
Same type of thing but you search for "Oct" - the assumption is that you grabbed enough lines (only you can tell for sure) AND that this file has the date posted in it for each entry. This would leave you with just the entries for October in the file.
# tail - 10000 rptlog1|egrep "Oct" > rptlog.tmp
# cat rptlog.tmp > rptlog1
These work thank you for taking the time to explain that.
