I need to search a very large file. It is too large to load the file in "vi". I can view the file using "more". Is there a way to search the file with "more". For example, I want to find a string "abcde" in the large file.
Thanks.

Depends on what version of "more". In many versions, the "/" character lets you search forward. The GNU program "less" is even nicer than "more"; it has this feature, starts up faster, and also lets you move and search backwards as well as forwards.
