Commands tagged split

Is this not the same

Use vim's diff mode to edit two or more files in one window. The '+diffoff!' turns off diff highlighting when the session is started.

Use ctrl+w + ctrl+w to switch between windows.

Will split the std input lines into files grouped by the 5th column content.

Loops over array of a system var, splits its values and puts the values into %A, %B, %C, %D, and so on.

Create array before, like

and

Be sure to replace %A, %B, etc. with %%A, %%B, etc. when using this from inside of batch files.

i have a large video file, 500+ MB, so i cant upload it to flickr, so to reduce the size i split it into 2 files. the command shows the splitting for the first file, from 0-4 minutes. ss is start time and t is duration (how long you want the output file to be).

NOTE: when i made the second half of the video, i got a *lot* of lines like this:

frame= 0 fps= 0 q=0.0 size= 0kB time=10000000000.00 bitrate= 0.0kbit

just be patient, it is working =)

Open files in tabs

-o acts like :spit. Use -O (capital o) for side-by-side like :vsplit. Use vim -d or vimdiff if you need a diff(1) comparison.

To split gnu Screen instead of vim, use ^A S for horizontal, ^A | for vertical.

This is just a little snippit to split a large file into smaller chunks (4mb in this example) and then send the chunks off to (e)mail for archival using mutt.

I usually encrypt the file before splitting it using openssl:

To restore, simply save attachments and rejoin them using:

and if encrypted, decrypt using:

edit: (changed "g" to "e" for political correctness)

bs = buffer size (basically defined the size of a "unit" used by count and skip)

count = the number of buffers to copy (16m * 32 = 1/2 gig)

skip = (32 * 2) we are grabbing piece 3...which means 2 have already been written so skip (2 * count)

i will edit this later if i can to make this all more understandable

Create a tar file in multiple parts if it's to large for a single disk, your filesystem, etc.

Rejoin later with `cat .tar.*|tar xf -`

a - archive

m5 - compression level, 0= lowest compression...1...2...3...4...5= max compression

-v5M split the output file in 5 megabytes archives, change to 700 for a CD, or 4200 for a DVD

R recursive for directories, do not use it for files

It's better to have the output of a compression already split than use the 'split' command after compression, would consume the double amount of disk space. Found at http://www.ubuntu-unleashed.com/2008/05/howto-create-split-rar-files-in-ubuntu.html
