Resuming quest to open a massive text file

[Adachi]

Under Unix you can use the split command.

split -l 1000000 file.txt

This would split the file every 1,000,000 lines into files named 'xaa', 'xab', 'xac', etc..

And if you need to rejoin the files after editing them, simply use 'cat'

cat xaa xab xac > newfile.txt

But if you just want to view the file, I'm pretty sure 'less' would work.

Line breaks are still line breaks when the file is converted to CSV.

Copy file, paste somewhere, change extension to CSV, Use This, set max number of lines per file to whatever you'd prefer, convert resulting file extensions back to txt.

I think if he breaks the files up this thing is never going to work. Like has been said one stupid corrupt sector and yarcarbluee. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] This needs to be transfered complete.
