Manipulating File size

[blx]

Hi all,
I need to write a small shell script that will do the following:
1. Do a listing of a certain file in a specific directory.
2. Look at the size of the file, reduce the size of it and then set a limit on the size so that it doesn't exceed a the size that I set.

Is this doable??

Thanks in Advance for any help

Chris
