[amibroker] Re: Reading and Writing Large CSVs

You can open large files with Notepad and Wordpad. I have done that 
to break them into smaller files that will fit on an Excel sheet. 
That is a pain to do. 

Another thing you can do is modify my AFL formula to dump data out in 
any size block you need then import them into individual Excel 
sheets. I put an export program in the AFL library that will export 
EOD and intraday data to a csv file. You could add a counter in the 
for loop to break that into smaller files, 63K lines or so, close and 
then open a new file with an extension, a, b, c... and so on.
