I need something to open a 270mb txt file, tried word, wordpad, editpad and even browsers but everything keeps hanging.
Anyone have any ideas what I can use to view it's contents (it's a log file) without hanging my old (3 yr old) machine
running win98se
<?bhb if(broken){ echo("It wasn't me 
"); } ?>

logging one of my web sites.
5-10mb is normal, so need to find out who's linking to what.
error log is no help as they haven't caused any errors (doesn't list 302's)

"); } ?>

Email it to me and I will see if I can open it...just kidding. Can you open it using vi on the machine that it is hosted on via SSH maybe?

i already had a similar probleme and vi solved it for me. if you only need the end of the file you could also use this on unix
tail -n1000 yourfile.txt > smallfile.txt'
IF , ELSE , WHILE isn't that what life is all about

Whats vi ?
[edit] Ok managed to get it open, what I did was split the file into 20 smaller files, did a search on google for text split and found a freeware zip of little programs from a edu department.
Now I just have to find time to go thru them [/edit]
Thanks

vi is a unix text editor. Most of the time now, vi is aliased to vim (vimproved), which has syntax highlighting and such.

I use Ultra Edit for text editing, I think it can open a file of any size. You can try it at ultraedit.com
It also has many great features built in for web page editing such as syntax highlighting and FTP Open/Save.
I haven't found an editor (for windows) that I like better, and I still haven't tried about half the features on it.

I have found that NoteTab will open about any size of Unix or Windows text file. There are different versions available. It is available at http://www.notetab.com.

I second the UltraEdit recommendation.
