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!

Could also break it up with a scripting language to smaller pieces.

I need to read it =D. It has just about everything I did in EQ from 99 thru about about 2006 in it. Every quest, every raid mob, every face plant, every cyber session.

Textpad chokes and dies. I'd tried breaking it down before, but it corrupted a copy in the process. Tried Dreamweaver as well and it tanked. Filesplitter exploded.

Going to try Chainsaw.
