A few hints: 1. You can open using the UTF-16 encoding and then use the little drop down in the file's footer to change the encoding and resave it. 2. You can use the Find dialog (cmd-f, use the "Find All" button) to bring up a results browser on "error" and then you can just jump from one to the other, while retaining context. 3. You can use Text->Process Lines Containing... to either delete all non "error" lines or create a new file just with the "error" lines.
