As part of my day job, supporting an old legacy PC app, I've just been handed a log file that's....er....11 GB in size. Actually "just been handed" is a bit of a lie - getting a copy of the file was entertaining (20 minutes of trying to connect my XP laptop to the customer LAN and no joy...20 seconds to get the iBook connected when their IT admin. finally allowed me :-)). It took 11 hours for Stuffit on my old B&W to get the file down to 350MB for archiving.
So...before I write some code to split this file up, I was wondering if there are any text editors for OSX (or earlier) that don't try and read all the file in before viewing? Something that loads the file in chunks perhaps? Neil -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
