Which texteditor for very large textfiles
Hello everybody
For quite a while now I am searching for a plain-text editor which is capable of "handling" very large textfiles. So what kind of files do you need that for, you might ask. Well, as an amateur astronomer my telescope automatically creates textfiles every 3 minutes (or so) with all the data you need to find specific objects in a specified region of the sky. Meanwhile this file is as big as 4,5 GB and Texteditor does not like files of this size. It takes hours to load this file. Once loaded, Texteditor isn't responsive at all: a search of a specific string or word once again takes hours. So I was wondering if there is a simple text editor which is capable to handle these gigantic files. I tried MacVim, but its response is as bad as texteditor.
Hope someone can help me out.
Thanks for your time, anyway.
