Operating Systems Solaris Editor for working with large files Post 302887681 by rbatte1 on Monday 10th of February 2014 08:45:10 AM

What do you need from the file? If it's just browsing to confirm something, then more will suffice. If you really need to edit and save the result, you may need to split the file up, edit the required part and then reassemble it.

If it's data, perhaps you need some code to do the edit. You might get away with a sed for a single line if you can work out which line you need to change.

Can you tell us more about what your objective is and someone may be able to suggest more options for you.
