[bobk544]

While you two were chatting I came up with this modification of some code I found.
If your system has associations for .vbs files then it will run on just clicking the file - if it is named split.vbs for example.

It splits at byte boundaries and not line boundaries, and ignores CR/LF line endings.  I'm not sure if that's what you want.

Code: [Select]

'infile and outfile must point to different files.

  Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2

  numchrs = 100000      '<= number of characters in each file
  infile = "list.txt"   '<= Set input file here
  outfile = "out-"      '<= Set output file here without extension

  Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  remaining = fso.GetFile(infile).Size
  Set f1 = fso.OpenTextFile(infile, ForReading)
  c = 1000000

  Do While remaining > 0

   c = c + 1
   out = outfile & right(c,6) & ".txt"
   Set f2 = fso.OpenTextFile(out, ForWriting, True)

   If remaining > numchrs Then
     remaining = remaining - numchrs
     text = f1.Read(numchrs)
     f2.Write text
     f2.Close
   Else
     text = f1.Read(remaining)
     f2.Write text
     f2.Close
     remaining = 0
   End If
  Loop

  f1.Close
  f2.Close
  Wscript.Echo "done"

wow great thanks Foxidrive, so i would create a ".bat" file and put that code into the ".bat" file and run that from the command line then?

[foxidrive]

If you called the code 'split.vbs" and put it the same folder as the batch file below, and the source text file, then it should work. 
Adjust the filename in the script for the source text file.

Code: [Select]

@echo off
cscript /nologo "split.vbs"

ok great will do and thanks again and Salmon!

[bobk544]

ok that worked great thanks very much foxidrive, i just need to tune it based on the character count, but that's exactly what i was looking for and thanks also Salmon, for helping me with this as well! so thanks to you both as i now am very intersted in these VBScript capabilities!

[bobk544]

thanks again Foxidrive & Salmon, i've heard about VBScript for years but never had a need to use it, so thanks again all for you help all, it always  amazes me that folks like you'all are willing to help others like you do, so hats off to you two, you deserve the best!

[Salmon Trout]

That's good, it means I can go off and watch the TV now. I shall not bother finishing my script. Glad you are all fixed up, bobk544.

[Salmon Trout]

Well, just for my own pleasure I completed a script.

[bobk544]

Ok that's great Salmon and fyi i think i just reached the outer stratosphere of a word document after tweaking the byte size and so for doc1 i've got: 30,238 pages and 15 million words!  wow
thanks again all!

[Salmon Trout]

Why are you doing this?

[bobk544]

i'm using MS Word as a document cross reference for software systems and i use another Word document to index all of the items in the system and i used to build everything on UNIX, but now i'm building pieces on Windows and actually i've written some VBA routines, but i've never written any VBScript only ".bat" type code, but now i'm really going to look into VBScript seeing how great it is and it's pretty fast! but Salmon, if you use Word alot i have a VBA routine that i tweaked from some code that Peter Epstein wrote, aka MacroPod and it will hyperlink selected text in a Word document and i use this to create documenation for sofware systems ect, here's a link to that routine  if you ever want to use it: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/worddev/thread/77096ef3-3f15-48b7-b32c-091ebff1c491
oh and also i'm now doing alot of XML processing and word itself is XML and therefore an interesting app in itself!

[bobk544]

 Here's a view of the index doc and if i highlight a range and select key a VBA routine it will set the hyperlink to a particular program and line on the a program, see the 2nd view below for the program view:

But the big document that we just split apart is the all document where i concatenate all of the documents into 1 big document and in this case i had to split this big document into several smaller documents and then link the index docs.

But Word is a pretty amazing tool and the hyperlinks work great, so i can literally hyperlink thru a system in a few minutes, no matter how big it is!

It splits at byte boundaries and not line boundaries, and ignores CR/LF line endings.  I'm not sure if that's what you want.

FWIW it doesn't ignore CR/LF - it can also be used on binary files.
