Hi, Below describes teh use of 'split' and is taken from section 12.3 at: http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/doc/debian/ch-file_tools.html Sometimes a file is too big to fit on a disk, or you don't want to send a huge file over the net in a single chunk. You can split the file using the split utility, and reassemble it using the cat (concatenate) utility. 1. cd; cp /bin/bash myfile; ls -l myfile Copy the bash executable to a file in your home directory called myfile. Observe that myfile occupies a little over 300,000 bytes, or around 300 kilobytes. 2. split -b100k myfile myprefix Splits the file into sections of 100 kilobytes, naming the sections myprefixaa, myprefixab, etc. Type ls -l so see the results. You can specify any number after the -b: choose one that makes sense. If you leave off the k, it will be understood as bytes instead of kilobytes. If you use m instead of k, it will be understood as megabytes. 3. cat myprefix* > mynewfile Concatenate all the files and write them to mynewfile. (The * and > are tricks you'll learn in another chapter FIXME xref.) 4. rm myfile mynewfile myprefix* Remove everything.
