How to open the tail of 8 GB log files using Notepad++ In Windows?
I used Notepad Document Monitor but don't quite get how to use it. I start monitoring and then what? How do I select the large file?
I can't just open the file because it's 8GB. So I got this large file 8GB log. I only want to see the tail. Like the last 100k lines, for example.

says I should open the file.
The whole point of seeing only the tail is because the file is too large. I only want to see the tail.

I think you are confused how this works. This plug-in doesn't read the closed file and return the tail of it. Nor does it open only part of the file. It has to open the entire file to monitor it. – CharlieRB – 2014-05-07T11:50:00.377
