Hi all! I am working a while with Perl, nut I still have some difficulties. My current problem is the following:
I have a file, which I want to open and 'split' it in several files, each of them containing 4000 lines. For example, if my initial file has 6200 lines, there will be 2 smaller files created, the first containing 4000 lines and the second 2200 lines.
Is there any quick way to do this?
I must also point out that this script will be executed in batch mode, that is I will find each file and, by using xargs, I will pass each 'big' file in the perl script, which will then open the file etc
Any hints???
Thanx
