Description
A multi-gigabyte log or database dump freezes Notepad and keeps an ordinary editor spinning for minutes. PilotEdit Lite is built for exactly that kind of file: the vendor says it opens files up to 10 GB, and you can keep several open at once.
A file tree on the left makes switching between documents easy. View a file as plain text or flip to HEX mode to read the raw bytes, which helps when repairing a damaged file or studying an unknown format. Search and replace is adapted for big files, and the compare and merge window in the screenshot lines up two files with hundreds of millions of lines and marks every difference.
Huge file editing: Open files up to 10 GB and keep several open together.
HEX mode: Switch to a HEX view of the raw data to repair damaged files or analyse unknown formats.
Compare and merge: Put two files side by side with differing lines highlighted and a summary of the differences.
File tree navigation: A tree on the left for jumping between open documents.
Large-file search and replace: Beyond standard find and replace, there are search options designed for big files.
