http://linuxaria.com – Sometimes it happen that: for mistakes, because you don’t rotate your logs or perhaps they growth up really quickly, that you need to analyse a large file (> 1GB) for searching a specific pattern of text. Probably you’ll go nowhere if you try to open them with vi or worst with a graphical editor like Gedit or libreoffice, and if your resource are low you risk to use all the memory and put your linux box in hang. But don’t worry, like many things in Unix/Linux, there is a specific tool that can help you in this operation: Rowscope (Resources)

Hey guys, does anyone know of a decent app that will allow for quickly opening and searching large documents? I can't believe how difficult this is to find. I can play a 700MB full-length movie and fast-forward and rewind without a hitch, yet I can't find an app that can open a 10MB text file (which isn't even large). This blows my mind.
