When you have a large text file (e.g. logfile) that is to large to handle or to large to open in a text editor like notepad++, this is a way to split the file in smaller chunks.
Download GNU CoreUtils and install them.
Use the " split.exe" tool to split up the textfile in smaller chunks.
Example :
split.exe –bytes=1m -d –suffix-length=4 largefile.txt smallchunk
this will split the file lagrefile.txt in chunks of 1 MegaByte and name the files smallchunk0001 and so on.
Check the manual for all options.
