Split File
--------------------
By
Thomas C. DeVeau
What is SplitFile:
SplitFile is a complement command to Join. If you have ever
encountered a file that you wanted to edit and found you
didn't have enough memory to edit it, what do you do?
This is the reason I wrote SplitFile. I recently downloded
JR-Comm, and its UserManual is over 200K bytes long. I don't
like wasting printer paper because authors like to put form-feeds
into their docs, so I edit them out. Well, JR-Comm's manual
didn't fit into my measly 512K memory. After running SplitFile,
I have four SHORT files that I can edit, then Join them back
into one file.
Using SplitFile:
Usage: SplitFile <filename> [TO <path>]
filename = The file you want to split.
(Optional)
TO = The TO keyword MUST be included.
path = The destination path. If path is a directory,
the / (slash) directory specifier MUST be used.
For a Disk, you must use the : (colon).
Example:
SplitFile bigfile TO files/
writes splitfiles to directory "files/"
in the current directory.
SplitFile bigfile TO DF1:
writes splitfiles to "DF1:".
SplitFile bigfile
writes splitfiles to the current directory.
Files created with SplitFile have the form:
File.sfn - Where n is 0 to whatever.
