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

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
