Default Scripts to manage Text Files

Hi! to all

This is my problem I have flat file with a file size of 4 giga bytes.
I'm currently using Open function to open the file for Input (read) or Output (write).
but the process is too slow. is there any scripts or function that will you recommend make the process faster.

Thanks,
Rylemer

If you don't mind my asking, why would you have a 4Gb flat text file?

agree: why do you...
just opening the file should not be a problem, even reading on line per time should be fine. what operations are you doing with it?
