How I can delete in VIM all text from current line to end of file

Question

I have very large files  more than 10Gb   I need only some lines from the top of the file  Is it possible  in vim  to delete the rest of the file  from current line to the end of file

User · Answer

d  This will delete all content from current line to end of the file  This is very useful when you re dealing with test vector generation or stripping

User · Answer

Just add another way   in normal mode   type ctrl v then G  select the rest  then D  I don t think it is effective   you should do like  Ed Guiness  head -n 20   filename in linux

User · Answer

Go to the first line from which you would like to delete  and press the keys dG

User · Answer

dG will delete from the current line to the end of file  dCtrl End will delete from the cursor to the end of the file  But if this file is as large as you say  you may be better off reading the first few lines with head rather than editing and saving the file   head hugefile  gt  firstlines    If you are on Windows you can use the Win32 port of head
