Hardware: IBM laptop w/Pentium 4 3.20 GHz, 1.5 GB of RAM OS: Windows XP Prof. w/SP2 I am trying to open large text file (csv format) app. 113 MB in size. 1. I can not go to the end of the file 2. I can not jump to the line > then 113853 –funny? In both cases, the result is the same. Ideally, I would like to split this big csv file into small ones. Please, help. Thank you, Gene.

Do be sure you have the real VEDIT serial number installed; not a number beginning with 87999 or 87901. Have you tried a reboot? Not running out of disk space? You can split the file with {MISC, More macros, Splitter}. Ted.

(3 of 7), Read 30 times, 4 File Attachments Conf: Startup, File Open, Exit From: Gene Nikitin Date: Monday, May 15, 2006 06:24 PM Thank you for such quick response. • I bought this software couple month ago SN beginning with 100xxx • re booted computer several times • Have ~ 40GB of free space Another funny thing: I tried to split file per you instructions. It worked but in a very-very strange way. Regardless of “Enter size of segments” parameter in command prompt, I always had one of the split file in size not less then 75MB. Please, see attached pictures (I named them after parameter size (1MB, 5MB, 10MB, and 20MB) I was able to read and process ALL small files after I ran splitter except the file with a size of ~75MB in all cases – with par. as 1MB, 5MB, 10MB and 20MB. Please, HELP! Thanks in advance. Gene

It worked fine: - I am able to jump to any line - {Misc, More Macros, Splitter} splits the file as expected Perhaps you have an unusual setting in your VEDIT.CFG? If you could attach your VEDIT.CFG to a message I will try it again to replicate your problem. Christian

Gene: Since we cannot replicate your problem and I am not aware of any related settings in VEDIT, I am not sure how to help you. You might try a re-install using all default settings. Ted.

It was corrupted in a very strange way. Like I mentioned earlier, I was able to read a big chunk of data in the beginning but was not able to go to the end of the file. vEdit is working fine. An average I need between 5-7 seconds to read 2500000 records. Thank you Ted and Christian for such quick response. Gene.
