-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 yeah, we get this problem in win32 all the time - notepad drops it's knickers everytime it sees a large file and the OS almost locks up waiting for a response.
To solve the problem I pre-process the file with scripts written in VBScript. You can easily write a script to skim off the first few kb of the file so you can work out the file format and then use that to parse out the entire file, only writing out the bit's you are interested in to a far smaller file. Alternatively, you can have your script write out all the data in a format that can be BCP'd into a DB that can handle big recordsets and then run SELECT statements as you like to get the data out.
