I’m currently doing some work looking at the GeoNames dataset.
`allCountries.txt` is around 1.5gb, which is pretty large, and certainly too large to open up in vscode for a quick look.
However, I found I could use `head` command, which reads the first n lines of a file, and pipe the output to `code -` (which is the command for opening vs code and reading the output from another program)
For example:
$ head -3 allCountries.txt | code –
This opens the first 3 lines of `allCountries.txt` in vs code. Handy!
