some troubleshooting questions.
Are you trying to open the file on this 2000 circa PC?
if so what operating system is it?
What file system is the hard drive where the txt file is stored? (You can right click the drive and select properties to look at the files system.)
From your earlier post it sounds like your old EQ machine is still functioning. In the interests of maintaining the integrity of your important log file you may want to create a copy before attempting anything. I recommend connecting the hard drive that contains the file to a USB hard drive adapter and make a copy of your log file to another media.
As for editors, I tested out a few.
I created a 4 GB test file using the following batch file.
Code:
echo "This is just a sample line appended to create a big file. " > dummy.txt
for /L %%i in (1,1,26) do type dummy.txt >> dummy.txt
I currently use emEditor and it opened the file.
I also tried a free program that worked.
