RE: OT: *nix text editor?
Heh. I keep getting answers, after all this time. See below for how I solved it. Background: I had a 1.5 gig flatfile, consisting of all the data from two databases. I had neglected to put 'use ' lines in it, so I couldn't simply load it back into MySQL. I had to add one line at the beginning, and one line somewhere in the middle. Or so I thought. Here's what I did. Step 1: Use 'more' to find what line number the info for the second DB started on. Step 2: Use 'head' to grab the first n lines of the file, up to where the second DB started, and pipe the output to a second file. I now have the first DB in it's own file. Step 3: Use 'tail' to grab the last n lines of the file, to get the second DB. Also pipe this to a file. Now I have each DB in it's own file. Step 4: Upload each file on it's own into the server, telling the mysql client what DB to send the data too. Done. And all without adding any lines. Maybe this will help someone else in the future who is in the same situation.

RE: OT: *nix text editor?
I ended up using head and tail to split it into 2 files, so that I didn't have to edit it. See, it was the output of a mysqldump from two databases, and I needed to make sure each part went where it needed to go.

OT: *nix text editor?
I need to find a text editor for Linux that doesnt load the whole file into memory. I need to edit a 1.5 gig text flatfile to add two lines. But I dont have enough ram to open it in most programs. Can anyone recommend something? Filter: sql,query Matthew Walker Ecommerce Project Manager Mountain Top Herbs --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
