Text editor to work on big files (above 100MB)

New comment
 

I am used to work with Notepad++ in addition to MetaEditor, mainly to analyze log/data files.

However when working with big files NotePad++ starts to become very slow or even can't open the file a too big.

Anyone has some experiences with this and could maybe suggest some good alternatives ?

This is the sort of thing VIM excels at. 
:v/pattern/d

:v is the opposite of :g, the global command.

d == delete

/pattern/ == regex expression
