Hello- I am working with files of MARC records that are over a million records each. I'd like to split them down into smaller chunks, preferably using a command line. MARCedit works, but is slow and made for the desktop. I've looked around and haven't found anything truly useful- Endeavor's MARCsplit comes close but doesn't separate files into even numbers, only by matching criteria, so there could be lots of record duplication between files.
If you have Indexdata's yaz installed the program yaz-marcdump allows you to break a marcfile into chunks of x-records. man yaz-marcdump for details
