Hi,
dealing with large files, exceeding emacs capabilities,
idea is to use `sed' to deliver subsequent chunks.
This seems possible if the files structur is line-separated,
if no single line exceeds max volume.
For example that way:
sed -n '111,130p' ein.txt
In the real program below the range is given by var
`ltm-start-line' and
(+ ltm-start-line ltm-line-step)
If I call `sed' from within an Emacs-Shell, its quite
fast regardless of the files volume.
Using `shell-command-to-string' or `call-process' as
the program below, it's slowed down
considerably.
Any ideas how to avoid this?
