Are there any good ones that exist? I'm a security analyst and I frequently work with large text files, 200MB-1GB and the text editors I've tried are incredibly slow.
A lot of the time I can use grep and other command-line tools to find what I need, but given the nature of the job I don't always know what I'm looking for so having the raw file open in a text editor is sometimes the only way.
- proverbialbunny 7y agoThe person from the talk may have a github repo with the text editor he wrote shown in the talk.
- cjohansson 7y agoI’d recommend xi-editor, vi/vim/neovim or emacs for that
- diegoperini 7y agoAs an ultimate noob of this area of expertise, can I ask if Sublime Text works? If not, why?
- diegoperini 7y agoI'm the noob, not the parent. No sarcasm intended.
- jhallenworld 7y agoTry JOE, it can handle files this large no problem.
- BubRoss 7y agoGvim can open files of 2GB or more and search through them without any problem.
