Bigfile is designed to view and search in very large text files.
I needed something like 'less' on unix systems, but easier and for Windows. Stumbled across the logviewer from Mark Woan, which did a lot of good things, but not everything. So I took his approach as an example and created Bigfile.
Main Bigfile features:
- Loading of compressed (.gz or .zip) files without unpacking.
- Background loading of files
- Different encodings
- Memory compression to support loading huge files in memory
- Multi-threaded search
- Search via boolean expressions and regex.
- Mimics some of less's navigation shortcuts
- Viewing line-content as text/json/xml/csv
Installer can be downloaded from https://bitmanager.nl/distrib/
