Normally I use something like Notepad++ but when I tried to open a text file that was 750-800MB in size I got warned that it was too big to open. When I tried Word (Office 2018) it failed, which I concluded was too large of a file.
The file itself is a cat'd file of data exports from a Unix environment. Imagine a couple of hundred text files generated in a Unix environment and catted into one monolithic file. To digest this in an Excel tool the text file must be MS-DOS compatible. Usually I just open and save in Word, but this file is too big.
Also, I cannot find how to open a Unix text file in Notepad++ and save it as an MS-DOS compatible text file even if Notepad++ could open such a large file.
Ugh, this isn't Monday either.
