It's a heck of a lot easier to pore thru a huge trace file with an intelligent editor. Instead, I get to use Notepad.
- mulander 17y agoI have no problems with large files - using Emacs 23 from http://www.ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html http://www.ourcomments.org/Emacs/EmacsW32.html. The file on the screenshot is ~156MB took several seconds to load but after that all operations on it are instant. http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/9108/emacslargefile.png http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/9108/emacslargefile.png The blacked out parts are work related - sorry.
- itgoon 17y agoWell, that's just sad, since Notepad loads the whole file into memory. Have you tried Notepad++ or UltraEdit? Colorization, smart handling of large files, etc.?
