does anyone know of an open source text / binary editor that can open large file, and also support script.
and when i said large, i mean large. something like emeditor level.
i mean, some database error, in just few days, could already generate 2 gb or bigger trace files. or log files.
thanks.
ps - except VI. I need something user friendly.
Check out notepad++
I already tried it out some time ago, and if my memory serves me, it failed with large files. Even its features page doesn't mentioned reading large files as one of it capabilities.
But thanks.

It works OK for me, but are you trying to load files bigger than or close to your memory, and what youre after is an editor that loads and saves in chunks?

or

Are you actually editing the files or just need to read / search them?

No. I have 8 gb mem. I think (may not remember correctly) but notepad already choked on 1.5 gb log files. I don't know how emeditor handle files internally, but using it (before the trial runs out and i'm with FREE version now) is that it capable of loading totally large files (I tested it even on 3.x gb trace files).
i've tried many other open source editors (even those that claim 'large files') but i think they are probably meaning source code level large files, which is probably, not large enough. log and trace can easily be big because it can have repetitive info inside it (unlike say, source code).
the only editor that can function as close as emeditor when it come to opening large files and handling it was Visual Studio editor (i have the community edition installed). that was my last resort after emeditor trial ended. but visual studio is slow to open, and slow to load.
does anyone else have any experience with other editors?
also, not your fault, but just to share this:

notepad++ does not support large files.

atom.io (last time i've checked) currently can't even open files larger than 2mb, afaik.
sublime text is commecial. i think i've tested it - but prefer emeditor better. i think purchasing emeditor is my last resort.
read, search, delete lines. copy text.
i'm going to test this tonight:

the next best thing i guess.

Its shareware or honesty ware or something like that. You can download it for free and it has no limitations but you are supposed to pay if you plan on continued usage.
Oh never mind just found out it really can't handle much more than 5MB
