I need to work with a rather large file

I heard good things about UltraEdit and it seemed promising, it's able to open the file, but it turns out that it can't jump to line numbers higher than 2^32 (2,147,483,648)

which is less than 18% of where I need to go

I'll potentially need to edit the line, not just view it, but I don't know exactly what kind of edit I'll need to make until I get there, I just know there's a problem there that needs to be investigated.

I'm on Windows, but CLI Linux programs would also be acceptable as long as they're usable via WSL. No GUI Linux programs.

  • Other than UltraEdit, what have you tried, and what were the limitations you ran into?

  • I would suggest that you have a look at commercial code "crisp" text editor. Runs on windows and linux and is a gui. I only use linux. I have not found a file size limi to load a file either in width (columns) or length (lines).. I don't know "jump to line" range of applicability but I have no really huge fies to test with. Has every conceiveable editing and macro feature. including hexidecimal editing. It is based upon old brief editor. Probably a test download for a trial. See: crisp.com
