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

    Notepad ;) Ok, serious, I think Visual Studio should be able to handle it... - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!" http://SourceLocker.net[^] SourceControl and DefectTracker Project.

        I just found that out. Here is the error message: An unknown error has occurred while accessing an unnamed file. John

          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.

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

                    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

No, a replacement for the windows explorer. with (among other things) archiving, filecompare, ftp... Great tool, I couldn't do without anymore. The internal lister was the only tool that opened multiple GB log files in seconds and allowed workable searches in it. http://www.ghisler.com[^] bart
