The Best Of: text editors
utility man:
ivery, just curious what kind of field are you in? Are you dealing with huge hex files, database files

Our systems input text files that have been produced from other systems. They are regularly in the 1-7 GB range.
Granted that it's not often that we would need to actually edit these files [as opposed to viewing and searching them], but in an ideal world the text editor would enable this function. i.e. you would not need to use a separate file viewer. Ultraedit handles this well, and Emeditor isn't far behind it.
Allen Dang:
Seems no one mentioned about the "Programmer's Notepad", I like this very much!
It is highly customizable, and the most important thing is, it allows to extend the feature with Python!
kartal:
ivery, my main tools are Eclipse and Vim at the moment. Personally I do not need to dissect files like that so anything that is better than notepad is good for me :)
Just curious since I have never tried Vim with big files. Have you tested Vim or Emacs for your needs?

Then, the only sane option is emEditor, I think. It's designed for those cases.
wraith808:
V would be a good option for viewing them- then launch them into another editor for editing... just a thought. It's what I do, and it works great.
