Why I can not use "search in files..." to search for huge files?
Hey,
Why I always get this error message when use the function "search in files ..." to search some words from several huge files?

Such like I have two files under one folder, one is 400M, another one is 700M, when I search for the key words between all these files, I will get the following error.
File2: failed to open

You might need to check the regular expressions to recreate this.
Is there some setting I need to change? Please advise.

thanks in advance.

It might be because the regular expression engine cannot work in a very large file. Please send me a sample file with the regular expression conditions and other detail information so I can reproduce your issue. tech@emurasoft.com Thanks!
