Re: Opening Large files was: Outline View Cannot Handle Large Source Member with CopyBooks

I've been a longtime user of Ultra Edit. http://www.ultraedit.com/

It has no limits on file size, thus can open as large a file as you
want.

 When it crashes it
does build an outline view XML file that is 1.95G in size 

and I have

tried looking at this file, but I can't get any editor to 

open since 
the

size is so large.  I have researched for solutions and have tried
everything possible but nothing works.  HELP!!!!!!!!

As it probably comes up for people periodically - I recently 
had to open a 
large ASCII file in order to edit the column headings on a 
large DB dump. 
The only editor that could open such a large file was Vim (VI 
iMproved). 
You can get it from http://www.vim.org/download.php.  There 
is a bit of a 
learning curve - vi has two modes, editing and navigation 
(navigation is 
done with letter keys in the interest of never moving your 
hands from the 
'home row'), but it was the only editor that worked for me.  
I imagine 
that Emacs is available for Windows and probably could open 
large files as 
well.  I think that Emacs might be a bit more familiar for non-Unix 
people.

Both of these are mature open source projects and free 
software (in both 
senses of the word).  Who knows, you may even end up trying 
out the vi 
keybindings in WDSC!

HTH,
Adam
