I splitted one 501MB tar.gz file on linux using split command like this: split -b 10m iall.tar.gz CASH
which was broken into 51 files in format CASHaa, CASHab - CASHaz than CASHba - CASHby, than I used cat command to rejoin them like this: cat CASHa[a-z] CASHb[a-z] > iall.tar.gz after rejoing the file was perfect. Yes in ANT we can implement this as feature as a command line file splitter, While surfing net I came across one java class file which solve the problem of command line file splitting http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit/#win32 -Pritesh -----Original Message----- From: Matt Benson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2005 10:35 PM To: Ant Users List Subject: RE: Size of zip file --- Ed Moon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Here's how to use cat to put a file back together > again: > cat part1 part2 part3 part4 > wholefile > > Or > cat part1 > wholefile > cat part2 >> wholefile > cat part3 >> wholefile > cat part4 >> wholefile or, when they are in order: cat part? > wholefile should also work. In the context of Ant, <concat> with <fileset> should easily handle the reassembly. Since cat and split are historically related, I would be +1 to adding a contributed Java split implementation to Ant core, if anyone cares to submit one. -Matt __________________________________ Yahoo!
