Try Ultraedit which is perfect in many more respects than just opening large
files...

Subject: st: how to open very large txt files (>6G)
Dear Statalisters,
I need to check if the data looks OK - the data should be delimited by
pipe (|) so I want to check if there is any double quote in the data
before I read it into Stata. The data is in txt format. I wonder
which are text editors would allow me to open that up. All
suggestions are welcomed.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Ada
