Hello,
I am regularly faced with a problem => when there is an issue on a server, the logs start to grow and sometimes form enormous files (200 MB for example).
Other times, these are HTML files generated by a link analyzer.
In any case, once the file is created, it is almost impossible to open it.
Is there a way to either open the file in chunks or split it into usable and ordered pieces?
Thank you

The only software I know that can open very large files (that even Notepad++ can't open) is: Ltfviewer.

Thank you very much, Sir.

it didn't work with a 500GB file, but UltraEdit did

It works with a 10.8 GB CSV file.
I use ultraedit at home and at work. It is very powerful for manipulating data files (text or binary).
The largest file I had to process was over 3GB.
Practically limitless, as it uses disk space to manage large files, unlike other editors that are only meant for "coding" and not for data manipulation.

You would be happy under Linux...
"cat filename" and there you go :)
Let's see if this command can be used on Windows as well (wget can, for example).

Hello everyone,
I don't have the solution to your question, but just a remark to make. I have a text file of 1.2MB, and it already takes almost 5 seconds to open it, so I think it's not a big problem, we can wait a little. But the real issue is that it contains 1260 lines without automatic line breaks, so I'm wondering what your 200MB file could contain, and even if you divide it into 200 pieces of 1MB each, how will it be usable!!!
If the content processing is done by computer, I don't see the point in dividing this file. And if it's done manually, it won't be fun at all, it's going to take you months!

I'm having the same problem; I generate txt files of 2GB or more, and it's needless to say that no software can open them; even Notepad++ says it's too big... if you have an idea for splitting a txt file, please let me know.
type [file name] | more
| More allows you to read the file in small portions.
One of the first commands I learned, originally under DOS 3.1.

Otherwise, you have a good program, it's Notepad++
