Text file "viewer" (not a full editor)

[Dave Bonnar]

I'm new to Harbour.   Just getting started.

From my Clipper app, I used to call DOS "view.com" which was a small fast text file viewer that could handle large .TXT files (1-2 meg).    Are there any fast "viewers" out there that can be called from Harbour?

hi,

when using 64 Bit App HB_MEMOEDIT() can handle "big Files"

difference to Cl*pper : you need to REQEUST "Codepage" OEM / ANSI / UTF-8 as you need

Thank you Jimmy, 

I'll read about HB_MEMOEDIT().   I only need two functions really - need to view big text files and need to search/find for a text string within the file being viewed.

Hi Dave

If you are compiling for console mode, from the Oasis of Phil Barnett I downloaded and still using it...

Aside from Kresin's HBEdit that's written in Harbour, there's also the TSE editors.  https://groups.google.com/g/semware

They are now open source.  There's a text mode version, and also a gui version.
