Best Free Text Editor Supporting *More Than* 4GB Files? [closed]
I am looking for a text editor that will be able to load a 4+ Gigabyte file into it. Textpad doesn't work. I own a copy of it and have been to its support site, it just doesn't do it. Maybe I need new hardware, but that's a different question. The editor needs to be free OR, if its going to cost me, then no more than $30. For Windows.
Solution 1:
glogg could also be considered, for a different usage:
Caveat (reported by Simon Tewsi in the comments, Feb. 2013)
One caveat - has two search functions,
Main Search
andQuick Find
.
The lower one, which I assume isQuick Find
, is at least an order of magnitude slower than the upper one, which is fast.
Solution 2:
I've had to look at monster(runaway) log files (20+ GB). I used hexedit FREE version which can work with any size files. It is also open source. It is a Windows executable.
