yeah, thats what i am getting to, and cutting it down to smaller files<br />
<br />
my problem is that i am importing a 2.8 gb file to a sql server via dts and it fails near the end with a &quot;Extra Delimiter&quot; error or something like that, so i need to go see the line and fix it, but i cant get it open to work on it because it is so huge.

Hi jagoodie,<br />
<br />
Why don't you use VB to,<br />
read how many lines you have,<br />
then Open #1 for Input, and Open #2 for output, until the line number equals to the half of the original file,<br />
then,<br />
Open #3 for output, from where #2 stoped, and continue to the end.<br />
<br />
this way you will break you big file into 2 smaller files.<br />
<br />
Hope this helps<br />

My server has 2gb or RAM..<br />
I have a 3GB text file that I need to edit the last few lines of. &nbsp;What is the fastest way to do this? &nbsp;The only thing that I found that will even open the file is WordPad, but I can't do anything with it from there...<br />
<br />
Any suggestions?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
