EmEditor Professional 7 - New Features

Version 7 is available now! - the biggest upgrade ever in EmEditor history!

Optimized to Open Large Files

The new version of EmEditor allows you to easily open huge files - up to 248 GB or 2.1 billion line - with only a little memory. The new version optimized the speed to open a huge file, so it can open a huge file much more quickly than previous ones. The new multithreaded design allows you to view documents during opening a file. A status window appears during most time-consuming activities such as editing, saving, search, replace, inserting and deleting text, which allows you to cancel those activities at any time. Even with smaller files, the new version improves overall speed in most everyday activities such as file opening, editing, saving, searching and replacing text.

Examples
(1) Time to load a file
(2) Time to replace all using a regular expression
