Hex Fiend can open, search and edit multi-gigabyte files. Seriously. I mean, you need a machine with enough RAM for that, but I've been able to edit an 8+ GB file with zero slowdown. Most apps choke on that much data.

This works to open massive files, I dont know of another text editor that can open such large files
Hex Fiend is a great little utility that let's you view files at HEX/Binary files.
