Thank you

Give GVIM a go. I have edited 500MB+ sized files without any issue.

So you want to alter a log file? I don't understand the purpose of altering what it would seem is probably an automatically generated log file. Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of having a generated log? – EBGreen – 2011-08-29T14:47:45.923
