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

        Right click it and choose print, then bring out your favourite coloured marker...

            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...

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

                    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.

                              As already mentioned the internal lister of Total Commander handles test files of several GBs without any problem (it's an viewer, not an editor). One of the many wonderful features of the tool :) bart

                                  Thanks. I was able to see what I wanted by copying the log deleting it and restarting the program. Through a debug I found out exactly what was causing the problem and it now is fixed... John
