I have a file which contains around 1 crore rows and size is around 400mb , my system is just not able to handle it . when i try opening the file using gedit , it just gets stuck . Is there any way to handle such large files of data.

A: 

Split them using the gnu (cygwin on Windows) head, tail or cut utilities. Then do work on the file parts.

A great utility for Windows is Large Text Viewer
