Solve : Problem with large text file?

Answer»

I have a very large text file, too large to use the DOS editor.  I would LIKE to see the bottom hundred or so records.  The type comand will scroll forever.  Is ther anyway to view or select off records from the bottom of a file?  Anything SIMILIAR to the tail command in UNIX?type file.txt | more will allow the MORE utility to display a page at a time.

You might also be able to find a text edittor without the limitations of EDLIN or BASIC/DOS EDIT. There used to be a bunch of them out there, like Tiny Edittor (TED), and you also could get them in the OLD Central Point PCTOOLS and Norton System Tools packages. Try SOLID OAK Software...dir/?if you have MS WORD

open it in there and scroll down
