ultraedit is the only text editor i could find that can open a 500mb ASCII file without problems.
- xuki 16y agoI think everyone is talking in Mac context here. It's more laggy than Textmate when I open a 500-line-file. Unfortunately I don't have 500MB ASCII file to test.
- jerguismi 16y agoTextmate freezes when I try to open any big file, like 50MB. Sucks. Otherwise great.
- alwillis 16y agoI suspect that BBEdit (http://barebones.com/products/bbedit/ http://barebones.com/products/bbedit/) wouldn't have a problem with a 500mb file.
- tzs 16y agoBBEdit beach balled for about 30 minutes on my 7 million line, 500 meg test file, before I gave up and killed it.
- henning 16y agoWhen do you need to actually open and edit a 500 mb ascii file instead of just processing it with one of the many Unix command line tools that can handle a 500 mb file just fine? (I realize it hypothetically does happen, the question refers to frequency.)
- mikeryan 16y agowhen you are on windows?
- mfukar 16y agoThere are alternatives to UNIX command line tools available on Windows (such as Powershell, for example), as well as ports of them (Cygwin etc). An editor as a replacement for those isn't really the best way to go.
- wenbert 16y agoXYZ files from Multibeam surveys. Windows user. Sometimes I need to look at the contents of the file - EG: remove x number of "headers" from the ASCII file.
- macco 16y agoWhat ist with vim and Emacs? Did you try them? I loaded files bigger than 1 GB with them - but this was on Windows.
- to 16y agolook up "thegun" editor (windows)
- wzdd 16y agoI just tried a 1.1 gig file with MacVim and didn't have any issues.
