Text editor to work on big files (above 100MB) - page 2

 
Anthony Garot:
This is the sort of thing VIM excels at.

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

d == delete

/pattern/ == regex expression


For additional reference:

Works nicely, only drawback is you have to know all the commands, but once done for sure it's good.

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

Alain Verleyen, 2018.12.13 18:41

I need to select all lines containing a given keyword, then removed all lines NOT selected. Easy with Notepad++, do you know how to do that with VIM ?

Can't find how to do that with 010Editor. Do you know ?

By the way I don't find how to do it with UltraEdit neither.

 
I use LogExpert (http://www.log-expert.de/). It has all the best functions and supports usual Log file formats.

Download LogExpert if you answered "yes" to any of the questions above! Note: The old discussion board (phpBB) was closed on Jun 20th 2012, because of repeated attacks.

Yes—there is a definite learning curve.

I don't typically use VIM for coding any more (I did, years ago), but for logfiles, it's the bomb.

Scite or maybe log editors suchs as logexpert...

Logexpert seems interesting for log (not edit), but it doesn't manage very big file. (Crashed with a 800 MB file).
 

For what its worth.

I use GlobalScape cuteFTP pro to handle large text files. It has no problems with couple of gigs worth of data. 

It is not *really an editor* being an FTP client though it has a decent editor and search(or replace) with huge files is extremly fast.

It is not free.

Why not use an excel workbook?

I don't have Excel, only OpenOffice Calc and I will not even try to open a 800 MB file with it.

Maybe it can work with Excel, don't know.
