1. Quick & Dirty Splitting (No Coding)

  • Use a text editor that handles huge files:

    • EmEditor (free version supports huge files)
    • Notepad++ with “Large File” plugin
    • VS Code (with “Large File” settings)

  • Or use an online HTML splitter (if it accepts 120MB) or split the file into smaller parts using:

    • 7-Zip → Split into volumes (e.g., 20MB each)
    • HJSplit or GSplit (free file splitters)

Then open the smaller HTML pieces one by one and search for your contact’s name.

2. Other Good Tools

  • WhatsApp-Chat-Exporter (GitHub) → Great for handling large exports and splitting.
  • Convert the HTML to text first, then filter with any text tool.
