        If I were writing it, I would read the file line by line. If the line meets the criterion for saving, write it to a new output file. Clean up the files as desired. I think this is essentially what Doug Danforth was suggesting. You can't beat the program for simplicity, safety, or low memory use.

        Reading and writing to the same file obviously entails a lot of complication and fancy programming, and you hope everything goes well. In your case it did not go well.
