Inspired by the deficiency in the split unix utility, which, possibly, splits a record across multiple files.

Written in C. Fork the repository and compile by typing make on the command line in the root directory of the project.

Usage

./rsplit [OPTION...] pathname-to-input delimiter-in-quotes num-of-columns

./rsplit [-hqsv?V] [-b SIZE] [-i[HEADER]] [-p PREFIX] [--bytes=SIZE] [--header] [--include-header[=HEADER]] [--prefix=PREFIX] [--quiet] [--silent] [--verbose] [--abort] [--help] [--usage] [--version] pathname-to-input delimiter-in-quotes num-of-columns

####DESCRIPTION

• -b, --bytes=SIZE

• put SIZE bytes per output file. Suffix the number with k, m, or g for scaling. Without scales

•  default to megabytes. Default size if the option                           omitted is 20MB
  

• -c, --count

• Produce only the total number of records in a .cnt file.
• The input file is not split.
• If this is specified, it over-rules the split function and writes the number of records to file.
• The filename will be that specified by the -p option or the default 'x'; with a .cnt extension.

• -h, --header

•  Input file has a header on the first line. If specified and header
  

•    inclusion is not specified, the header is stripped off the output. 	If specified, the value read
  

•    overrides that passed as an argument to the option        --include-header[=header_line]
  

•    Default is input file has no header.
  

• -i, --include-header[=HEADER]

• Include the header from the first line. Default is excluded. If this option is specified
• Without the optional header arg or --header included option, no header is written to the
• output files. The number of records excludes the header.

• -p, --prefix=PREFIX

• Prefix to be applied to Output FILE with suffixes to indicate order of records. The default is 'x'

• -q, -s, --quiet, --silent

• Don't produce any output

• -v, --verbose

• Produce verbose output

The following options should be grouped together:

• --abort

• Abort before showing any output

• -?, --help

•  Give this help list
