delete a line and data truncation

Comment:

when I use MORE or TYPE command in my Windows batch script to remove the first line from a text file like this: type Filename.txt | find /v "FILEHEADER" > Newfile.txt it would remove the first line. But it would also truncate any data after position 1024 on a line when it writes to the newfile. What can I do (or what's the best way) to prevent this truncation?

It may be a limitation of TYPE but there's no need to use type in the first place. find /v "FILEHEADER" < Filename.txt > Newfile.txt ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

if you want to remove first line, you can also use the more command c:\test> more +2 file > newfile Unix Win32 tools | Gawk for Windows
