    I have a 26GB logfile that was produced by my program. What is the best free text editor to read such a file?? John

    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.

          while (!sorted)

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

                        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... --------------------------------------------------

                          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...

                                        Even when it works, the command i gave would've only shown him the last 10 lines. I was expressing my amazement at his need more than offering a valid solution.
