very large text file

[1vf9z8AR]

I need .txt files with English data in it(ascii 256 characters only).

About 100mb to 1 gb with good data or at least random words.

Its for testing a compression software I wrote

I am unable to find on google.

@salem c
I saw that but is there some generator in one go?
Because my professor will want to generate her own file too.

What does "in one go" mean?

Maybe ask them for advice on where to get 1GB of suitable data from.
It's their assignment, they should know.

If we assume that the average length of an English word is 7 characters (a very conservative assumption), a 100mb list would contain 14+ million words. Even English doesn't have that many words.

I mean to download a single file instead of combining multiple.

No, I picked it up. We have the choice to do any project cause we are freshers.

Vol. 2 of Intel's manuals, containing 1283 pages, weighs 6.2 MiB. What single body of natural English text do you expect to find at 100 MiB?

100 MB? Or more? No problem, DIY. Take dummy text like here: https://lipsum.com or here: https://www.blindtextgenerator.com and repeat until done.
