Hi Heinz!

The following did work under linux, don't know if it'll work on windows:

----[code]-----------------------
void
trimFile(char[] fileName, int count) {
    // open file
    auto file = cast(char[])std.file.read(fileName);
    // cut of count characters
    file = file[0 .. $-count];
    // write file
    std.file.write(fileName, file);
}
---------------------------------


you should place some exception-handling around each line, though.
