Piggy-backing here:
I have a large text file (100,000,000+ records). I need to write a
utility that removes the last record of the file. Is there anyway to
just remove the last record without reading through the complete file
with RunRev?
It sounds like a big file, but Rev is pretty good about managing memory
and swapping to disk. I'd be tempted to try this and see how it works:
delete line -1 of url ("file:mytext.txt")
Worth a test anyway. I've used it on files that were several megs in
size without a problem, but they weren't super huge, just kinda big.
