Creating a Large Text File Viewer by Vibe Coding with Visual Studio Code, Cline, OpenRouter, and Claude 3.7
I just created another Windows 10/11 application using AI. This is a follow-up to the SquareCap program I posted about a few weeks ago.
The problem I was trying to solve this time was opening and searching extremely large text files. I used to use the old Mandiant Highlighter program for this, but it was last updated in 2011 and couldn't handle the 26 GB text file I wanted to open. If you're wondering what that file is, it's a dump of the contents of the main Starfield.esm file from the Bethesda Game Studios game called Starfield. I use the xdump64 program bundled with xEdit. You can try this program for yourself if you like. It's a stand-alone Windows C# .NET 9 application that runs on Windows 10 and 11.
Like my last program, all I did was work with the model for about 3 hours to get it to where it is now. I tried for an hour or so to implement a "highlight all search matches" function but could not get that to work. The screen capture cuts of the right side of the page where the search and match feature lives.
You can download the .exe from GitHub at https://github.com/taosecurity/BejView.
Windows will probably complain because it is not signed.
As with my last program, I have no idea of code quality or vulnerabilities. This was a fun exercise to see if I could create a program that would address a problem I was working.Copyright 2003-2020 Richard Bejtlich and TaoSecurity (taosecurity.blogspot.com and www.taosecurity.com)
