Ability to Browse large text files?

I have a text file that is >5GB in size and I need to view a few records that are near the end of the file. My system only has enough virtual memory to view the first 1.5GB or so of the file.

Is there a command that will allow me to browse this file instead of trying to load the entire file into memory?

Cheers.

I would reccomend a tool like less, Google sent me here, since TP does not support browse mode. HTH

I would suggest "V" http://www.fileviewer.com. I use is for years now and it works great. It is shareware though.

(Thanks scrumbus for making me see the incorrect URL. Sorry...)

Yup.. V kicks butt for viewing huge files.

I believe this is the right url.
