Note: I have already read Best viewer for large text files (> 10GB) and Text editor or reader for working with huge files in Windows but here the specific point is the compressed file support.
In order to view the content of > 10 GB files, I usually use "wxHexEditor" which is great (see screenshot below).
You can seek very fast anywhere in the file.
I'm looking for a similar big file viewer, that can also view .gz gzipped files, without needing to decompress it into a temporary file.
Note: This is technically possible without decompressing to a temp file, for example with Python, you can do:
import gzip
with gzip.open('test.txt.gz', 'rb') as f:
f.seek(1024*1024*1024) # go to offset 1 GB
print(f.read(1024)) # display the next 1024 bytes
Is there a big file viewer that can do this?
