Am quite interested to know out of curiosity that what are you trying to achieve opening such a huge file.

Is it just read the contents - more, less, etc should do

inline modification of values - sed would do that

check whether trailer is populated - tail would do

and with header - head would do

so what is that you want to do after opening the file ? Smilie

thnx....but..
it's a log file...and it is reading the conf file(through some methods)
so,i want to check what method is called,
after complition of one method..


i think this can be done by opening a complete file.......

but i can't.

If you are interested to view the file using vi, split the file into smaller parts that are managable by vi. Else try vim or as suggested above cat,more etc should do the trick.
