Look for Large file support

EditPad I think was ok for this and LTFViewer - Had to open and search very large website logs once..

LTFViewer was very fast to open as it only open's a section of the file. A few seconds for 10GB file

TextPad and UltraEdit are also generally ok with this size of file.

You would have to test them for your application of course and see which one suits you.

Well, I looked at that, but I'm not sure the feature matrix is so useful... what do they mean by "large file support"? Is it 2GB, 4GB, or "available memory"? It says nothing about memory vs. diskbased either :)


EditPad I think was ok

Their site says: "Edit huge files without breaking a sweat. EditPad Pro will instantly open files up to 2 GB in size, even if your PC has less than 2 GB of RAM." - what is with people using 32bit signed integers for file sizes? As if 32bit itself wasn't bad enough, wtf use SIGNED integers? Ever seen a negative-size file? >_<

TextPad and UltraEdit are also generally ok with this size of file.

TextPad doesn't seem to do the trick, quoting their features: "It can handle file sizes up to the largest contiguous chunk of 32-bit virtual memory."

LTFViewer sounds like something that could be useful :)

PS: thanks for your effort, even if this post sounds a bit critical overall :)

Oops.. Sorry.

I just tested it with a large ISO, but even with the plugin, looks like it'll take a few minutes to load (I've waited for about 1min).

...and I even posted in that thread :-[

It was mainly a thread about viewing though, this thread also hints at editing :P
