I wish I could use jEdit to view specific parts of a file (e.g., the "tail" or "head"), especially HUGE files, like the 100MB+ log files I typically need to comb through.

jEdit has trouble with large files, eats a good deal of memory, and becomes sluggish with such beasts.

Wouldn't it be cool if we could load the tail end of a file, like the Unix tail command does? Or the head of a file. Or, if possible, but not as important, be able to specify the line numbers (range) we want to open.

I tried using the Log Viewer plugin, but it also eats up memory and croaks with large files.

Thanks,
Paul
