XML Split of a Large file

Question

I have a 15 GB XML file which I would want to split it .It has approximately 300 Million lines in it . It doesn\'t have any top nodes which are interdependent .Is there any

Answer 1

I think you'll have to split manually unless you are interested in doing it programmatically. Here's a sample that does that, though it doesn't mention the max size of handled XML files. When doing it manually, the first problem that arises is how to open the file itself.

I would recommend a very simple text editor - something like Vim. When handling such large files, it is always useful to turn off all forms of syntax highlighting and/or folding.

Other options worth considering:

1. EditPadPro - I've never tried it with anything this size, but if it's anything like other JGSoft products, it should work like a breeze. Remember to turn off syntax highlighting.

2. VEdit - I've used this with files of 1GB in size, works as if it were nothing at all.

3. EmEditor
