I'm looking to open a massive text file on my mac. The file is just over 10Gigs. I won't get into how it was created or what it's use is, since it isn't really relevant to the question.
Are there any mac programs which will allow me to open such a massive file, or perhaps break it up into chunks (say 200mb or something each) which would be easier to open individually.
I don't necessarily need to edit it, just view portions of it. Everything I've tried, Textmate, Vim etc etc all (understandably) crap out or take forever to load.
I also run Windows and Linux, but moving such a large file around is not easy. It currently resides on my Mac and I would rather not have the hassle of moving it.
Similar to http://superuser.com/questions/138474/very-large-text-files-and-snow-leopard , but this question also accepts an alternative to split the file
