Reduce size of opened file.

[yanosh]

Hi,

How can I reduce file size, when the the file is opened ? I found "trucate" command, but I want reduce file from beginning or delete specific numbers of line.

Please help !

You will probably want to read the file contents into an array, remove the lines you want or split the array then rewrite then back into the file. There are probably easier ways but that's one method that comes to mind.

I realize this is an older post but figured i'd shoot an answer out anyway in case anyone was running into the same issue.
