One of the things I've always liked about BBEdit (and TextWrangler) is the ability to open really large text files. I used this a lot when I was hosting web sites to edit very large log files, trimming a few entries from last year and/or adding them to next years.
It was not uncommon for me to open files 1-gig or larger, so long as I had more RAM on the Mac than the size of the file. When you opened such large files, you might get the spinning donut of death for five minutes or more, but BBEdit would open the file and allow you to make some changes and then save it. I have a project right now that has a 668MB MySQL dumped sql file and I'm unable to open it in BBEdit. I get a MacOS Error code -116 with an option to copy it to the clipboard, but of course it fails. In this case, I'd really like to do a search and replace on that file to fix some character encoding problems I'm having. It's been a while since I tried this. Is this something that occurred with Mac OS X at some point (I'm running Leopard) or is this something with BBEdit?
