If only a preview is needed, you can use Total Commander. The "Demo" version is enough.The F3 key opens a file preview - even if it is extremely large.If editing is needed, you can try Vim, for example (I immediately note that I have not tested it on such large files). In my opinion, it will not work for 140 GB. Attempting to edit something like this "manually" is a bad idea. It is easier to write a script that will make the necessary changes/find the interesting text.
