So... Within the last few days I've gotten a few logs at over 30MB. When I try to open them in Notepad, I have to wait for an hour and then forcibly close Notepad. Wordpad is even worse. Firefox crashes. Anyone has any ideas?

Notepad++?

Wh, do you have such huge logs?

And google can turn up wonders like this.

Dayum. I expected it would at least blink a bit when I opened the 60MB log, but it opened it in a second or two. Impressive! Thanks!

And if you're connected for 35+ hours (from 14.30 to 03.30 I think, so even more) as I was yesterday/the day before, it accumulates tongue.gif

Chrome deals with my biggest log fine (15mb) though it takes a bit to open.

15MB is a far cry from 60MB though (the largest log). And if I were to convert it to HTML, it'd be three times that biggrin.gif

1) No, it wouldn't
2) There's no need

Gah, I KNEW there was an app I was missing. Did a wipe and reinstall a while ago and I'm still finding little things I've forgotten to install.

Thanks!

I once had a log over 1 gig. I never could open that thing.

I have more than 2 gig of logs from Lusternia.

In one text file?

No, I rename the log file when it hits around 100MB, and start a new one.
