It worked for THAT file. But it fails for certain

Well, have been really busy today, haven't been able to
get on to re-installing that .gz-file (bigish) for
which it does NOT work.

But, question still remains -- when I (soon) DO have
one of these huge debug.log files to send to you,
how can I reduce it WAY down to the parts YOU would
want to look at.
You suggested grep, but what regex do I look FOR?
And, once you give me the regex to search for,
what do you want as context FOR that line?
That is, how many lines before, how many after?
And if there are more than one error, how many
do you want me to send to you?
----
Am emailing this now -- will send more when I have
got something that does NOT transfer.
Thanks for the attention you have been giving
to me!
NOTE: Oh, I've been getting into your book a bit,
and the problem might well be the modem settings,
for this "strange" panix.com ISP I use.
