[Skimmertalk] software to manage raw data files

[David Gilbert]

One possibility might be to break up the TXT file into multiple files 
that each have less than 1 million lines.  Load each one into separate 
EXCEL files, then cut/paste them all into a master EXCEL file with 
multiple groups of columns.  In other words, if you had three EXCEL 
files each approximately 1 million lines and six columns each, you'd end 
up with a master file that had the data from the first file in columns A 
through F, the data from the second file maybe in columns K through P, 
and the data from the third file in columns U through Z.   You'd have to 
do your analysis on all three groups of columns but with some thought 
you should be able to write the formulas to handle everything.

At least I THINK that should work ...  ;)
