Large text file truncating on save

crater · Post by **crater** » Mon Mar 08, 2004 9:01 pm

I've just loaded another large (26 Mb) 7-bit ASCII file into TextPad, manipulated it by setting word wrap, inserting several newlines and tabs.

The file loaded and saved OK, and it decoded OK. Well, it proves that my encoded 7-bit ASCII stream is whitespace tolerant.

So, so far TextPad handles 26 Mb files, 31 Mb files, but not 42 Mb files.

Tested Ultra Edit with your original file and it works like a charm.
I reccomend that you send a bug report to Helios using the feedback
form at http://textpad.com/support/feedback.php, set Type =
Bug Report. Most editors I tested can not load or work with this file so it
might be a borderline case but I think Helios would like to at least know
about it.

I've already had a message from Helios to say try their new beta. So I'll give that a try and see what happens.

Much obliged for all the help everyone.
