- elviejo 18y agoreally? I'm willing to bet that any file that would be "big" for emacs, would melt eclipse, word or any other text editor, except maybe for vim.
- JulianMorrison 18y agoActually, editing very large (hundred-megabyte) text files is hard. (Example of real world use: mysqldump files.) Emacs thrashes. Vim thrashes. Eclipse? I laugh. However, the text-mode editor "joe" loads the file quickly and doesn't thrash.
- bd 18y agoThat's why I love SciTE. I just tried it with 126 MB text file and it didn't break a sweat. http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html http://www.scintilla.org/SciTE.html Bonus: you can use it in your own wxPython application. Some brave soul wrapped it and made available as wxStyledTextCtrl widget. http://www.yellowbrain.com/stc/index.html http://www.yellowbrain.com/stc/index.html BTW that's what I finished using for my app I mentioned in my other comment in this thread.
- liminalist 18y agoTextPad handles gigantic files beautifully.
- chime 18y agoEmEditor ( http://www.emeditor.com/ http://www.emeditor.com/ ) handles large files very nicely. It has a special 'large file controller' that lets you configure in real-time how to access a file. I've edited 4GB text files (global search & replace) and the only slow step is the final 'save' function.
- cturner 18y agoed is one I assumed would be good. I downloaded a windows distribution of it last year for a problem involving massive files. Turns out that particular version of ed is not designed as efficiently as you might expect.
