clear

how do you clear a file using CAT command? i need to preserve the file itself, but empty it... it's a log file, just got too big..

The easier way may be just to remove the file & recreate a new, empty one. You can do this using rm and touch like so:

rm {filename}; touch {filename}

I swear that I already answered this question. Oh yeah, that's because you already asked it here:

Don't waste our time.
