How to read large text file on windows?

Question

I have a large server log file (~750 MB) which I can't open with either Notepad or Notepad++ (they both say the file is too large).

Can anyone suggest a program (for Windows) that will only read a small part of the file into memory at a time?

Or do I need to write my own app to parse this file?

try this...

Large Text File Viewer

By the way, it is free :)

But, I think you should ask this on serverfault.com instead

UltraEdit will do the trick.

You should try TextPad, it can read a file of that size.

It's free to evaluate (you can evaluate indefinitely)
