For actually processing an XML file that enormous, I'm a huge fan of the Perl library XML::Twig[1]. And even if you're not planning to process it with Perl, XML::Twig has a pair of very useful utilities 'xml_split' (and 'xml_merge'), which are tailored to the task of splitting (and reässembling) large XML files into manageable chunks. Discussion of the tool started at perlmonks.org[2], where you might find some useful usage information (or 'perldoc xml_split' after installed). -- Best, Ben [1] http://search.cpan.org/dist/XML-Twig/ [2] http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=429707 -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
