      I’m editing +16 million line text file, every process takes from 3-10 minutes!
      So I’m asking if there a way to make it faster a little bit…
      This will help me so much!

      details:
      core i5 11th
      16gb ram

      Notepad++ version: 8.49
      also it uses +5000mb ram in every process

          I am currently developing the HugeFiles plugin, and while it doesn’t currently support editing of very large files, I’m in the process of implementing some new features, and I’m considering adding a regex replace feature that would be less memory intensive and hopefully faster than simply editing the file normally.

          For simple viewing and searching, you may find the plugin to be useful in its current form.

          Could you provide an illustration of the sort of edits you’re doing, so that I can get some idea as to the feasibility of implementing them in the plugin?

            The find/replace feature has been implemented in HugeFiles. No formal benchmarking, but was able to perform a find/replace operation with over 50,000 changes on a 200MB file in about 3 seconds. Your mileage may vary, and I haven’t yet tested it on anything bigger than that.
