I didn't lose interest. :) Most of the things you are talking about
are beyond my knowledge and "just wait for final answer" :) :) :) I
tried few things recommended here but none worked.
As much as I can see, the only solution is to split the file into
smaller files?
We cannot necessarily just bestow an answer upon you.
How about this. What does the "file" command say about this file? I.e.,
say your file is named "reallyReallyBigFile," run this command:
% file reallyReallyBigFile
And tell us what it says.
The "reallyReallyBigFile:" is actually Inbox file from Thunderbird. When
I was leaving the old company 2 years ago I just copied whole T-bird to
backup HD. Now, I'm looking for one very important email and the only
place left is this huge Inbox file.
$> file Inbox
Inbox: data
thanks.
The only reason I can think that grep could not handle a very large file
is that it does not have proper line breaks.
