I'm trying to look at the Freebase data dump which is stored on a server that I access through ssh. The trouble is I don't know how I can view it in a way that doesn't take forever, make things freeze or crash, I had been trying to view it with nano
and it evokes the precisely the behaviour just described.
The operating system is Darwin.
How can I examine this data?
Basically you could use command more
or less
to scroll over the file. If you know which lines in the file you are interested in, like from line 3000 to 3999, you could show them with sed -n '3000,3999p' your_file_name
.
