High-performance grep for very large files inside your IDE. Many text-processing extensions degrade or fail on multi‑hundred‑MB/GB logs due to memory limits and editor rendering. large-log grep avoids those limits by streaming and delegating to battle‑tested CLI tools when available.
Why this extension
Traditional extensions and the editor often choke on huge files (OOM, UI freezes, timeouts)
Opening the whole file is unnecessary when you only need filtered lines
This command works without opening the file in the editor and scales to GB‑level logs
What it does
Prompts for a case‑insensitive regex/keyword
Greps the target file (active editor, selected in Explorer, or chosen via file picker)
Writes matches with line numbers to a per‑file folder next to the source file
Automatically opens the result file in the current IDE (VS Code or Cursor)
Output layout:
Folder: <filename> (or <filename>.grep if a same‑name file exists)
