Please help! Dropbox/iPad mini/large file issue

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cyber-blonde.

I have a large txt file (77.2 MB) that I need to view (I'm away from home), somehow, from my iPad mini. Trying to open the file from dropbox crashes the app instantly. Trying to open via safari works, but only to an extent; about a third of the file loads but I can't view the rest, either that or the page times out and cannot fully load.

Can anyone point me to any possible solutions or alternate ways to find a way to be able to view the file in it's entirety while I cannot access a computer? (Unfortunately, the information I need is at the end of the file, and I can only see the beginning!)

Many thanks.

    Can you convert it to PDF? You will have a lot more options to view it.

    I'm not sure if there's any way for me to edit the file type from iPad without access to a computer, or at least, I can't see any way to edit via dropbox.

    GoodReader is not free, but is an excellent file viewer and integrates with Dropbox.
