Greetings, Gary Vaughan!


I am working with csv files and when I perform the split -l, it splits the
file correctly, but is putting the 'aa','ab','ac' after the file extension.


Be very careful to use generic text tools on CSV files.
On any non-textual files, actually.




I agree with your comment regarding non-text files, but a CSV file is a textual 
file.

/desktop/ESM.csv /desktop/ESM.csv is resulting ESM/csvaa and would
like it to be ESMaa.csv


`man split` is your friend.

Try: split -l 5000 --additional-suffix=.csv /desktop/ESM.csv 
/desktop/ESM.csv ESM


(all in one line)

It means split ... with resulting prefix "ESM", and suffix ".csv").

The command you show has default prefix x, no sufix, then the result 
should have been xaa, xab, xac, etc.
