Default
An 800MB text file is way too large to process - I'm not even sure Word could open it. The published limit is 512MB with no more than 32MB of text. I suggest you use another app to filter the data to eliminate everything that doesn't match your US/RE pattern. You may even need to break those up into smaller chunks.
