I have to do some find and replace tasks on a rather big file

  • 0

I have to do some find and replace tasks on a rather big file , about 47 GB in size .

Does anybody know how to do this ? I tried using services like TextCrawler , EditpadLite and more but nothing supports this large a file .

I’m assuming this can be done via the commandline .

Do you have an idea how this can be accomplished ?

    Sed (stream editor for filtering and transforming text) is your friend.

    sed -i 's/old text/new text/g' file
    

    Sed performs text transformations in a single pass.
