If you can guarantee that the expected 'php' string will happen in the first kb of each line, yes. I really meant to ask grep for a limited output, because if you can't blame grep for using a lot of memory when it has to store a whole line unbounded in size, you can expect it to use less memory when you request a bounded output. But your solution is likely the best, provided you don't "cut" useful information. Regards, Laurent. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
