WXR slicing script

Question

I have a massive WXR file im trying to import into wordpress. I run out of memory when i try to import as one file, so I'm thinking of how i can split the big file into smaller files programatically and if anyone had a script to do this

Answer 1

Googling for "split wxr file" returned several results, including

• python script for splitting .wxr file
• GUI for splitting WXR files (OSX and Windows)
• .Net splitter for WXR files

Haven't tried any of these, but the comments look positive.

Answer 2

I wrote a WXR Splitter for Windows (.NET) - it gets approx. 10 downloads per day. People generally like it.
