I have a question about how i can split files.
Let's say i have some very large files. (2gb for example) and i want to split them into 650mb files. (they are plaintekst only)
I was thinking about something in the lines of this; (just words)
set size arguments set input file set output file
open the file read the content print line of the content to $output file check size of $output file continue if not to big yet else check which files already live in the target directory (.1 .2 .3 .4 .5 etc) rotate file to $output file.1 (or .2 .3) and restart the printing process
Is something like this possible (or perhaps easier or something?)
Thanks in advance!!
