Editing a big file in vi - Out of register space (ugh)
I am editing a very big log file (1.2million lines) on unix in vi. If I try to delete a lot of lines (e.g. 100000) with the dd command I get the message "Out of register space (ugh)". Does anyone know a way around this? (and yes, I know I should have cleaned the file up a bit sooner!)
