In windows, there is a tool called edit pad pro that I have used to open some very large text files. I don't know if that is available for linux or not.
I agree with jim mcnamara in that it would be helpful if you specified more than just the need to open the file. It's not like you will be able to scroll through a file like that and see much, unless you have a few years with nothing to do. If you want to search the file, something like grep will find things and print the entire line where your search text was found. Tools like sed would let you edit the text, but that would be slow since you would be creating a new copy of the entire file, etc. Languages like perl provide more advanced functionality, etc.

perl::critic::policy::inputoutput::requirecheckedopen
Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::RequireCheckedOpen(3)User Contributed Perl DocumentatioPerl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::RequireCheckedOpen(3)
NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::InputOutput::RequireCheckedOpen - Write "my $error = open $fh, $mode, $filename;" instead of "open $fh, $mode,
$filename;".
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
The perl builtin I/O function "open" returns a false value on failure. That value should always be checked to ensure that the open was
successful.
my $error = open( $filehandle, $mode, $filename ); # ok
open( $filehandle, $mode, $filename ) or die "unable to open: $!"; # ok
open( $filehandle, $mode, $filename ); # not ok
use autodie;
open $filehandle, $mode, $filename; # ok
You can use autodie, Fatal, or Fatal::Exception to get around this. Currently, autodie is not properly treated as a pragma; its lexical
effects aren't taken into account.
CONFIGURATION
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
