Hi,
I've done a basic search on Google but can't find anything specific about a problem I'm having with Textmate, namely handling large textfiles or textfiles with long lines.
It's driving me nuts. I'm having to deal with XML and HTML files which have been 'compacted' so there are no carriage returns / line feeds and I want to tidy them up in TextMate so I can make then human readable but TextMate just takes forever to load the files. TextPad on the PC has no problems, but I didn't switch to Mac for my Windows colleagues to point and laugh! :) Seems like a basic capability of text editor that TextMate just can't deal with.
Had this been noted before? Is there a fix in the pipeline?
Thanks, Ian.

Yes, this is the oldest bug evar. It will probly be fixed in TM2. You can work around it by writing a super short ruby script to replace "><" with ">\n<"
Yes, it is a shockingly embarrassing bug :[ but there are hundreds of billions of awesome features that will make all your windows buddies extremely defensive and secretly cry themselves to sleep at night.
