Splitter CommentaryA lifesaver! - Version: 1.0, 12/2/2006 12:05PM PST

Despite what someone mentioned below about incompatibility with OS X 10.3, this utility worked well with OS X 10.4. I was able to split a 386.4-MB text file into ten segments that were then separately openable by a wordprocessor, which I used to save them each in RTF. MS Word couldn't save a file a third of that size, even without any changes having been made to the plain text.

Thanks to this utility, I now have access to all the data on my "Infobases Collectors Library ’97 for Macintosh" CD-ROM on my MacBook Pro, which obviously cannot use Classic (Mac OS 9) to open the massive text library with the original pre-OS X application.

Say you just used forty two to rip a DVD to a 1.1GB AVI file and want to split it up so you can fit it on two CD's. Just fire up the terminal and run split. Here's what it would look like if you wanted to make it fill the first 700mb CD completely and then have a 400mb file for the second CD. % split -b 690m bigsupertroopers.avi supertroopers


The -b option is for bytes and the 690m tells split to break the files into no larger than 690mb files.


This will create two files called supertroopersaa and supertroopersab. If you didn't add the supertroopers on the end of the command you'd have two files named xaa and xab.


To join the files back together, just use the cat command. To join the files in this example, type % cat supertroopersaa supertroopersab > supertroopers.avi


This joins the two files with the > output and creates a filename that follows the > . If you have more than two files or you just don't want to type each split file then you can use wild cards to make it easier. For example, you could just type % cat supertroopers?? > supertroopers.avi and it will join the files just like the above cat command.


You'll then have a file identical to the original bigsupertroopers.avi only now it's called supertroopers.avi or whatever you called it.
