Hi If the file is too big you can split it to multiple files using split command:
*split test.txt -b 10000000* will split test.txt to multiple files each one of maximum size = 10000000 bytes.. anyway, I've opened larger files with vim and never had significant problems 2009/7/11 Al-Faisal El-Dajani <[email protected]> > Greetings all, > > I am trying to edit a rather large file (300+ MBs).
