UltraEdit's large file editing is simply the best in the business. UltraEdit is a disk-based editor, meaning only small portions of the file are loaded at once into memory so the editor does not use all your system's memory and stop other applications from running. UltraEdit does use temporary files; simply set a file size threshold so UltraEdit uses temp files with smaller files - not larger ones, which could result in excessive memory usage. UltraEdit can open files in excess of 4 gigabytes... in fact, you're really only limited by your system's memory. So, it kinda seem contradictory, but there ya go :) -----Original Message----- From: Steven M.

I admittedly was comparing it's behavior with regular ol' Notepad... and it has larger [1] files far better. But I never bothered to check to see if it was actually documented as only mapping a portion of the file in to memory... probably because I wasn't load single line 170mil characters long. :) -sc [1] For values of "large" in the low 10's of MB's. > -----Original Message----- > From: Crawford, Scott [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Friday, April 29, 2011 3:40 PM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: RE: Hex viewer? > > Maybe it reads the whole thing to build some sort of index, but doesn't keep > the whole file in memory.
