What is best text editor software to open very large text files? - BK-201 - 08-26-2018
I am looking for a text editor that will be able to load a +50GB file into it.
The editor needs to be free or with an available crack in the net.
Thanks in advance

You're welcome.
These editors just came to mind:

When you get a moment, please advise whether any have fulfilled your needs.

ed might work? vim can work with 3GB files, but I doubt it will work with 30GB+.
You might need to do something like "split -l 1000 filename split", and then edit splitaa, splitab, etc separately in a normal text editor. Then you can cat them back into one file at the end

Thank you. I will try EmEditor software, for now, the software works fine with files 10-25 GB, but it gets stuck when the files up to 35GB.

Very good point, I completely forgot about It.
I did this many years ago, when I used Crunch to create a massive wordlist.

50gig is really pushing it for most file editors. Sublime 3 is my favorite editor. It is less bulky than notepad++, crossplatform, handles very large files well, and full featured. I would recommend splitting the file first like another user recommended. Or writing script to handle the file to begin with. The largest file I've ever opened in sublime was over 20gigs and it was usable.
