VSCode can't open large CSV file

[pcgeek86]

• VSCode Version: 1.7.2
• OS Version: Windows 10 Anniversary Update

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Download Lending Club data for Q3 2016
2. Extract ZIP file into CSV file (76.3 MB uncompressed)
3. Open CSV file in Visual Studio Code

@alexandrudima you asked for a new issue, for each unique case of large files, so here's mine. Let me know if you need anything else from me. #6474 #13187

Notes

• Notepad opens the same file successfully
• Excel 2016 opens the same file successfully

What is the filesize limit? I have the same issue - a log file (tab separated) 76MB... No issues with other text editors. :(
(Working on Mac OS.)
I'm looking for a different editor then on Mac :(

@tylerwaterfall
according this File
https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/blob/master/src/vs/platform/files/common/files.ts

export const MAX_FILE_SIZE = 50 * 1024 * 1024;

It may be 50m size..

Let's not call this a large file, this is a medium file. Large files get in the range of 700MB - 4GB range. This is an important distinction because a lot of editors can open medium size files (100-400MB) but fail in the true large file size range.

This file can now nicely be opened in the 64 bit version of vscode
