Hello,
I could use a file splitter. Ideally with GUI.
Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks, I would like to use Ksplitter, as I prefer a GUI.
In the meantime, just this morning, I found something online about splitting files.
In terminal, I type:
| Code: | | split -b 1024m <filename> |
1024 is the chunk size, this is just a sample. Replace file name with the actual file to be split.
This creates multiple files of the specific size, named xaa, xab, xac....
To re-join them:
| Code: | | cat xa* > <filename> |
I have tested this, and it works great. However, I still prefer the GUI. That being said, I went to Add/Remove programs, but can not find "Ksplitter"
Thanks,
Mike

Isn't ksplitter a freeware windows app? Might work with wine. Probably not libre, however.
There's a gtklxsplit gui shell for the lx split command line file splitter. These are gpl utilities. http://www.freebyte.com/hjsplit/#linux
I haven't used either and I could be wrong about ksplitter.

After some more searching, I found a GUI file splitter called:
gtk-splitter-2.0-1.i386.rpm
I downloaded it from this site:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/7670164/com/gtk-splitter-2.0-1.i386.rpm.html
It installed just fine and works great.
I don't know if it is free and open source. I can't seem to find an "About" for the program. I am assuming it is because it looks like the source code is available at the same location.
Does anyone know about this program? I hope it is ok to install.
Mike

Ya, if you can dig up your old scripts they probably work! That's the nicest thing about GNU/Unix/Linux/etc. is that you can write something once and you can use it for years unmodified....
