    I really want to only look at the end. It is an error log and I can see that there are a few database errors. The thing is that the system is working as expected... John

      That was my reaction when I found out that the log file was eating up the entire system partition. I'm glad I did not put it on the data partition it would have another 100GB to go... John

            You'll probably be better off writing your own program to read the last few lines and write in in another file.. Visual Studio just gives up if the file is too big... --------------------------------------------------

              Import it via DTS/BCP/SQL*Loader (each line is a record), create a full text search index, and run SQL queries to find the info you need. And next time, create more manageable log files :)

              // Quantum sort algorithm implementation
              while (!sorted)
              ;

                    UNIX tools use longs for file positioning and don't support files > 4GB.

                    Depends on what UNIX. Most modern ones have been upgraded to use 64 bit positions. Of course, YMMV with SCO.. :) -- Gnnnnmmmpppppppfffffhhh!

                                    well actually total commander internal lister (F3). The only possible solutions, as far as reading only goes. The advantage is that it takes virtually no resources and 0 loading time or that stuff it streames dynamically, so size is just limited by your HD and OS but not by this app.

                                          I knew it was a database problem so I stopped the system and put a breakpoint where the error was being logged and I found out the database was missing an essential record. After adding the record all was well, but I must not assume a query returns a record from now on... {EDIT] Good thing I keep a copy of the complete source code tree of the current running executable...
