If you have GNU tools: head --bytes=-4 < infile > outfile Note the "-" in "-4". In case you're a C programmer, you could also write a tiny tool that uses (f)truncate(3) to chop off the end in almost no time (i.e. without copying). Maybe it's a good idea to check whether the file really ends with 00 00 01 b9 before chewing on its tail. E.g. like this: /*** BEWARE! ***/ /*** Incomplete pseudo code without any error checking! ***/ /*** Also remember to use -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 ***/ uint32_t buf; off_t pos; int fd; fd = open(filename, O_RDWR); pos = lseek(fd, (off_t)-4, SEEK_END); if (read(fd, &buf, 4) == 4 && buf == htonl(0x1b9)) { ftruncate(fd, pos); } close(fd); -- Michael "Tired" Riepe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> X-Tired: Each morning I get up I die a little ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
