I have several text files that are very large (500MB+). There is a keyword
in each file ("Array") at which point I don't need the data below and including the line in appears. Problem is, using a text editor for such a large file makes it nearly impossible to Find, Select-to-End, Delete. I currently have an excel file that will input each line into a cell and until it reaches the keyword. Once the keyword is found, the file is closed and a new file is opened and all the cells are written to the file. With files as large as I have go thru this process it takes more than two hours to finish. I'm sure that the majority of the time is spent writing the data to the cells and writing it back to a new file. Is there a way (in Excel) to find a keyword in a text file and delete everything from that line on? |
