textpipe could be an alternative

thanks...i think the issue might be more to do with computer memory than em-editor. i also just discovered how i can split the master file into smaller files  will have a look at textpipe

Vim and linux text utilities are well worth learning how to use over any kind of GUI editor.

use emeditor or email/name/phone number filters

i usually use shell commands for txt files and 7z to search into compressed files , that looks efficient for me but it takes alot of time

Just avoid GUI editors, those suck so much memory, when they are not just embedded inside a web browser (Atom). Vim or Emacs in CLI should work better but honestly, any editor will struggle on very big files or files with very long lines. What do you expect to be able to find by scrawling in a DB dump anyway?

Depending on your use case, use grep to extract DB schema related information (table name, schema_names) and then to extract the information that interest you the most.
A good option also is to just load the DB file in a local live database and then just navigate through this with SQL. That's what it is meant to be used for in the first place.

Hope this help.

try using command line tools like split or awk to handle those big files avoid bloated editors

Em Editor man, or try Sublime or BeEdit

thanks. Em Editor works great for most of what I am working with. It's just if the file is massive even Em can't handle it and it freezes on men. Maybe it's the limits of my laptop and not the software?

Best bet mate, is to get a free openai account, and use chatgpt to find commands to use in CMD or Terminal if you're linux/mac, and start using backend processes for handling big files, move away from GUI software and start  using the REAL horsepower of your system.

Good advice. I just experienced some few days ago the benefit of chatgpt in using generated code and adapting them to do my data processing

Yeah man, this is the best use of AI, on the fly answers that go into more detail than just a google search

You need at least 32 GB of ram to make sure your EmEditor doesn't chock and crash.
