Features | Screenshots | Download

• Have you ever felt frustrated when you just want to look at the content of a large text file but it takes forever for Notepad or Word to open it?
• This program was designed for viewing large (>1GB) text files.
• It uses little memory and is able to open a gigabyte file instantly.
• Background file indexing makes browsing even faster.
• It allows the user to perform high-speed complex text search by means of plain text or regular expression. The regular expression syntax is slightly different from the standard ones. Please click here for details.
• The regular expressions for finding the following items have been provided as preset for the convenience of the users:
  • quoted string
  • hexadecimal integer
  • floating-point number
  • date of any format
  • time of any format
  • domestic phone number (US & Canada)
  • social security number
  • IP address
  • email address
  • http address
  • ftp address

• The program opens and displays both ANSI and Unicode text files.
• It allows the user to change display parameters, which include:
  • font, font style, and font size.
  • colors of text, selected text, and URL.
  • background color and background image. (The user may use any JPG or BMP file as the background image. A sophisticated algorithm is used to soften the image and then blend the softened image with the background color perfectly.)
  • tab size.
  • automatic detection of URL addresses (namely HTTP, FTP and email addresses).
• Display parameters are automatically saved and associated with filename extensions.
• It supports mouse wheel.
• You may use drag-and-drop to open a text file. The program remembers recently opened files.
• It remembers the window position/size of the previous run.

• Because only Windows NT, 2k and XP support Unicode, Large Text File Viewer 4.1 no longer supports Windows 9x. If you are using Windows 9x, please download the previous version 1.1 here.
• No additional DLL (such as MFC or VB) is required.
• No installation is needed.
• The executable is only 552KB!
