Resuming quest to open a massive text file

[quido]

What are you looking to do once you have it open?

I sometimes have to open logs that are a gig at work and used to use Dreamweaver to do so since I had it open anyways. It works but is slow as hell. Most likely, though, there is some upper bound to the amount of data that can be loaded.

Getting good with the unix commands like grep, tail, etc, will be a big help for you in this right most likely. Regular expressions ftw!
