RE: Need faster Search/Replace capability

I think a better approach than an editor for this size would be to use
Excel. An even better approach would be to import the file into Access, do a
query that writes to a new table, and then do whatever with the new table.

Subject:	Need faster Search/Replace capability

I am trying to re-format a 75MB text file using just the search and replace
functions in various text editors. I've tried using Word, Notepad and
Wordpad but all become hopelessly bogged down (I'd be dead before they
finish).

What do I need to do? Is there an editor available that can better handle
very large files?
My PC spec is: P3 866MHz, 640MB SDRAM, Win2000)

Any help appreciated!
