Just did some preliminary testing on this. With a file of 2,347,884 lines, I dd'ed the first 299 lines and closed the file in: time vim test.txt 299dd :wq real 0m15.793s user 0m2.612s sys 0m3.391s If you wrote that into a vim script it would probably go faster. with a file with 5,000,000 lines I had time vim test.txt 3513dd :wq real 0m46.837s user 0m6.163s sys 0m7.209s I have homework to do or I would do more testing. -- Alex Esplin /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
