    I was able to load the files using osx and nano. Get a 64 bit computer.

                I will try this, sounds like big dump.

                Actually vim ended up opening the file but it took like 10 minutes.

                    Do you need all of it at the same time?..

                    Is it a data dump?....

                          You should load it into MySQL then you can run queries.

                            GNU/LINUX Terminal
                            Code:
                            #cat [file]|more
                            #grep -i "word" file|more
                            case insensitive or

                            count
                            Windows is soooo lame...

                            use your server

                            or just open a shell
                            Windows command prompt PowerShell (terminal)

                            Code:
                            cd \location\   ...\
                            > get-content filename |more
                            
                            cd \location\   ...\
                            >sls word .\filename |more

                              True but you would need the column headings if it is a csv

                              #head -n3 filename

                              Unless it is a .sql file ...

                                  If he zipped it and sent it to phpMyAdmin I think it would handle it on the fly - It would take a few php.ini changes though...

                                            I'll bet he's making a 2 column website with everyone's name where you can buy individual info or by bulk, but then he'll get overwhelmed with over 1 sale/day that he has to manually process and give it up..

                                              then be sued and in a WIPO Domain resolution arbitration.

                                              What's phpMyAdmin? LOL -- something I have no use for.
                                              SSH or open a Terminal then log in to the MYSQL daemon direct

                                                      2. Click on 'open'.

                                                      3. Click on 'browse'.

                                                      4. Find file (make sure you click on text file option).

                                                      You can then read the text file.

                                                      Most browsers should read text files no problem.

                                                        Or an even simpler option is put the location of the file into your browser, ie:

                                                        E:/mine/info/123.txt

                                                        or

                                                        file:///E:/mine/info/123.txt

                                                        Or to find the file simply type the location of the file hard drive into your browser. Ie:

                                                        E:/

                                                        You can view most files types this way.
