Very Big file edition

[bourgui]

Hello,

I've a very big file (4Gb) to edit. I was not able to do it with vi, emacs ..etc.
I've only one character to add.
I'm working under Tru64 5.1A.

Any ideas ?

Thx,
Jean-Luc

if you know where the character is to be placed you could use awk to read the file, write to a new file and add the character at the appropriate point - assuming that it is a text file and that you can uniquely identify the insertion point.
