Can we split and join the large text files

Question

I need to split large text files around 10 GB into multiple text files (mostly 1gb files) and join those same text files into one file.

Answer 1

If you have split command then try this,

Example:

split -b1024 your_large_file.txt sample_prefix

It will split the large file and produce the list of files with 1024 bytes.

Join:

cat sample_prefixaa sample_prefixab sample_prefixac > final_org_largefile.txt

It will concatenate the contents of the spitted files and produce the single file.

Note: Linux will have split command. But, I don't know about GNUwin32.
