I have a large server log file (~750 MB) which I can't open with either Notepad or Notepad++ (they both say the file is too large).
Can anyone suggest a program (for Windows) that will only read a small part of the file into memory at a time?
Or do I need to write my own app to parse this file?

Solution 1: Download a Dedicated Large File Viewer If all you need to do is read the large file, you can download a dedicated large file viewer such as the Large Text File Viewer. Such tools will open large text files with ease.
Modern editors can handle surprisingly large files. In particular, Vim (Windows, macOS, Linux), Emacs (Windows, macOS, Linux), Notepad++ (Windows), Sublime Text (Windows, macOS, Linux), and VS Code (Windows, macOS, Linux) support large (~4 GB) files, assuming you have the RAM.

By the way, it is free :)
But, I think you should ask this on serverfault.com instead
