I'm fan of UltraEdit. It has a "column mode" which can save a lot of typing. Sometime I use XEmacs, another great editor, but I don't use it as much as I use UltraEdit. I've used it to edit some pretty big files, but It loads the whole file into memory, though.
It sounds like you have a very specific task in mind for your editor. Depending on what you want to do, you might be able to write a Sed|Awk|Perl|Python|etc... script to do what you want. While we're on the topic of text editing, I also Python to do a lot of repetitive text generation. For example I can feed a table, a list of columns, and their type and size into a Python script and get back an insert and update statements, formatted like I want and with trim() and isdefined() where I want it. It's so much easier than doing it all by hand for data-entry type apps.

After my boss tried to have me arrested for "HACKING" his servers and all that was fun my old boss was a threatster :) OK OK now to the point i need to find a win32 textbased editor that does not have to load the whole damn file into memory first. I remember it being on here before so i'm curious. Any help would be appreciated!
