Although some file archivers offer us the option of split the files, this can be easily accomplished with two commands: split and cat.
Splitting a file with split
split just needs the size of the parts that we want to create, and the file that we want to split, e.g.:
split -b 1024 file_to_split.bin
You may at times need to create a series of small compress files for a big file ( for instance, when you want to upload a very big file to Mediafire or Rapidshare, you will need to split this file into small parts). In Windows, the most popular tool for this task is WinRar to create rar files. In Linux, you can use the rar utility to compress a big file then split in into small parts as well.
Hi Friends,
Below is my requirement. I have a file with the below structure.
0001A1....
0001B1..
....
0001L1
0002A1
0002B1
......
0002L1
..
the first 4 characters are the sequence numbers for a record, A record will start with A1 and end with L1 with same sequence number. Now the file that is generated is too big.
I have a txt file which is formatted as 250,000 * 3600 (3600 rows and 250,000 column) I am going to split it into 3600 small txt which each file is 250,000 * 1.
I understand the split can basically split large file into small ones with certain size. If I followed the same technique, I would get the same size of files but each file can be either 249,999 * 1 or 250,001 *1.
