[SOLVED] Windows text editor to read only part of a file
I'm sure Tech Support personnel use a windows text editor that can read only a specific part of a huge log file. Does any one know of such an editor?This message has been edited. Last edited by: Kerry,

If this were TSO, the obvious answer would be Browse
Good old Kedit (the Windows knockoff of VM's Xedit) has a Get command, to pull in a range of lines from a flat file.
One caveat: it does not comprehend Unicode. (I did say it's old)

Francis,
I still keep a copy of PFE32 installed on my machine for just this sort of thing. You should still be able to download this freeware somewhere. I have been able to open files on the small side of a gig.
How big is the file?

Francis,
If you know your way around vi then the windows version of vim - gvim - will allow you to read even 2GB+ text files.
