Large file edit

hi,

I am having trouble editing a large file in AIX. Its a clear text file which is close to 1.5MB in size. Whats the best method to edit this...

thank you,
DC

'vi' should work Ok as long as the line lengths are reasonable.

I agree with columb. 1.5MB is realitively small for vi. If you are working on a particularly big file though, you can try 'vim' available on IBM's website:
