I'm trying to edit an .osm file (which is xml text). I can load it in nedit under freebsd, and in wordpad under xp. Ee and notepad are willing to load it, but it's too large (~4GB).
Slickedit v9 gives me a read error.
Removing lines from the middle of the file eventually makes it readable by slick, but it can't be a matter of size, because I've successfully loaded and edited larger files, and I've even tried telling it to only load a chunk at a time. So there must be some char in there that it doesn't like, but I haven't found anything in the docs about chars or sequences that get it so confused and upset that it won't read a file.
Anyone have any ideas about what might be bothering it? I'm fresh out.
