After three replies suggesting text editors (including one I already use), I apparently need to repeat:

The files I am interested in viewing are too large to open in a text editor. The program needs to work by reading only the part of the file needed to display the current location on-screen, doing more reads as needed as the user moves around in the file. Just for grins, I just tried opening the file in Notepad++. Memory usage shot to almost a gig, it pinned a CPU, and then sat there, not painting. After ten minutes, I killed the process. Aside from the overall file size, the "170 million characters on a single line" is also likely giving it trouble. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
