Hello All,

Which one is the best text editor for working with the 10GB Text files? Working like cut,copy and paste.
Is there any specific option for GVIM?
Let me know if any another text editor working easily with such types of files.

Thanks & Regards,
Maulin Sheth
 

Why not chop it up into a few thousand smaller pieces - you can do that in Linux, 'split' command from memory.
Then, make the edit on the particular smaller file of interest.

Thanks for your Reply.
I know this.Even I can do with scripting also.
But do you know any other Text Editor apart from GVIM for such like large files?
 

Possibly UltraEdit does it, since you can disable temporary files in it's options.
My Linux version of it for some reason doesn't currently install on my RHEL VM, so I can't check for you if the
option is there.
But for editors, 10Gbyte file handling capability is possibly not a major competitive advantage in the
market for text editors, given often there are other more practical methods as referred to above.
If you really do have an interesting use case for this, you should consider writing or commissioning your own text editor,
and sell it : ) Since modern computers do have lots of RAM.
 

try cream (http://cream.sourceforge.net/)

Cream is a configuration of the Vim text editor that consists of a set of scripts which can be run within Vim to make it behave more like an editor now common to most personal computers which conform to the Common User Access standards of interface and operability. --Wikipedia

Can be installed from the repository of your Linux distribution
