Help! Need TextEditor...

[Petersen, Vegard Krog]

..to the this: In a text file with 3.251.662 lines let me easy mark all
lines from 1 to 1.000.000 and then save these lines as a new file.

I have NotePad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/) and it might be
able to do this, but I can't figure out how. Markingd an crolling with
the mosue will takes *ages*!

Can anybody help? Needed the answer yesterday... ;-)

Thanks in advance!

Possibly vim will do the job (although it is horrible to use)

Use the keyboard. In notepad+++, CTRL+G (go to line) enter 1000001.
Then hold down CTRL+SHIFT and press HOME key. Then copy (or cut), open
new file, past.

Or if you have multiple files, you could use a stream editor like SED
to "print" any number of lines.

See Eric Pement's site for more info:

sed . . . the stream editor

and his compiled:
