The GUI looks straightforward and allows you to tweak the dedicated parameters in a short amount of time. The program works with plain text, DAT, and BAT file format. Files can be added in the working environment using the built-in browse button (the drag-and-drop support is not implemented).

When browsing throughout large log documents, it is essential to have the right navigation tools. Block File Reader gives you the possibility to jump to the beginning or ending of the document, and jump back or forward based on a user-defined amount of information.
What’s more, you are allowed to go to a certain point in the file, and check out the file size and current position. You may also split files by creating equally sized documents and specifying the maximum file size in bytes, or entering a specific number of items. In addition, you may set up file mask, mask extension, as well as filename incrementing parameters.
Tests have shown that Block File Reader carries out a task quickly and without errors. It does not eat up a lot of CPU and memory resources so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.
