RE: Need a compiled version of Gnumeric that works with 600,000 rows

["Wang, Jian" <jxwang txccc org>]

Hi Uri,

Thank you very much for your reply. I agree that a database or other
text processing programs such as perl or awk would be the eventual
solution to handle big files. In my application, I just need a simple
and easy-to-use program to sort, edit, and filter some rows. I have used
some Unix commands to handle such tasks, but I think an advanced
spreadsheet program such as Gnumeric would be much easier to use and
more efficient.

Thanks again and I would highly appreciate it if you could point out a
compiled version of Gnumeric that can handle large number of rows.

Best,

Jian

Hi.
Why do you need 600K rows?
Are you sure you need to do this with a spreadsheet, and not with a
database or text processing files (like perl/gawk/grep...)?

Yours,
Uri David
