I have found that even though NotePad will edit medium large files, it won't do 
a search-and-replace (if that's what you did) for as large a file; it'll quit after a 
couple of hundred lines or so. And it gives no indication that it failed to 
complete the operation.

One recommendation I would make is to do a search for NotePad+ (free 
download) which is much more robust and flexible than NotePad. I have also 
found EditPad the same way (and also available in a free version) and it, to is 
much more robust and flexible than the original NotePad. I now use it for all of 
my HTML editing for my website.
