Split text file into smaller multiple text file using command line

问题


I have multiple text file with about 100,000 lines and I want to split them into smaller text files of 5000 lines each.

I used:

split -l 5000 filename.txt

That creates files:

xaa
xab
aac
xad
xbe
aaf

files with no extensions. I just want to call them something like:

file01.txt
file02.txt
file03.txt
file04.txt

or if that is not possible, i just want them to have the ".txt" extension.

I know the question has been asked a long time ago, but I am surprised that nobody has given the most straightforward unix answer:

split -l 5000 -d --additional-suffix=.txt $FileName file
  • -l 5000: split file into files of 5,000 lines each.
  • -d: numerical suffix. This will make the suffix go from 00 to 99 by default instead of aa to zz.
  • --additional-suffix: lets you specify the suffix, here the extension
  • $FileName: name of the file to be split.
  • file: prefix to add to the resulting files.

As always, check out man split for more details.

For Mac, the default version of split is apparently dumbed down. You can install the GNU version using the following command. (see this question for more GNU utils)

brew install coreutils

and then you can run the above command by replacing split with gsplit. Check out man gsplit for details.

Here's an example in C# (cause that's what I was searching for). I needed to split a 23 GB csv-file with around 175 million lines to be able to look at the files. I split it into files of one million rows each. This code did it in about 5 minutes on my machine:

var list = new List<string>();
var fileSuffix = 0;

using (var file = File.OpenRead(@"D:\Temp\file.csv"))
using (var reader = new StreamReader(file))
{
    while (!reader.EndOfStream)
    {
        list.Add(reader.ReadLine());

        if (list.Count >= 1000000)
        {
            File.WriteAllLines(@"D:\Temp\split" + (++fileSuffix) + ".csv", list);
            list = new List<string>();
        }
    }
}

File.WriteAllLines(@"D:\Temp\split" + (++fileSuffix) + ".csv", list);

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET "sourcedir=U:\sourcedir"
SET /a fcount=100
SET /a llimit=5000
SET /a lcount=%llimit%
FOR /f "usebackqdelims=" %%a IN ("%sourcedir%\q25249516.txt") DO (
 CALL :select
 FOR /f "tokens=1*delims==" %%b IN ('set dfile') DO IF /i "%%b"=="dfile" >>"%%c" ECHO(%%a
)
GOTO :EOF
:select
SET /a lcount+=1
IF %lcount% lss %llimit% GOTO :EOF
SET /a lcount=0
SET /a fcount+=1
SET "dfile=%sourcedir%\file%fcount:~-2%.txt"
GOTO :EOF

Here's a native windows batch that should accomplish the task.

Now I'll not say that it'll be fast (less than 2 minutes for each 5Kline output file) or that it will be immune to batch character-sensitivites. Really depends on the characteristics of your target data.

I used a file named q25249516.txt containing 100Klines of data for my testing.

Revised quicker version

REM 

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET "sourcedir=U:\sourcedir"
SET /a fcount=199
SET /a llimit=5000
SET /a lcount=%llimit%
FOR /f "usebackqdelims=" %%a IN ("%sourcedir%\q25249516.txt") DO (
 CALL :select
 >>"%sourcedir%\file$$.txt" ECHO(%%a
)
SET /a lcount=%llimit%
:select
SET /a lcount+=1
IF %lcount% lss %llimit% GOTO :EOF
SET /a lcount=0
SET /a fcount+=1
MOVE /y "%sourcedir%\file$$.txt" "%sourcedir%\file%fcount:~-2%.txt" >NUL 2>nul
GOTO :EOF

Note that I used llimit of 50000 for testing. Will overwrite the early file numbers if llimit*100 is gearter than the number of lines in the file (cure by setting fcount to 1999 and use ~3 in place of ~2 in file-renaming line.)

You can maybe do something like this with awk

awk '{outfile=sprintf("file%02d.txt",NR/5000+1);print > outfile}' yourfile

Basically, it calculates the name of the output file by taking the record number (NR) and dividing it by 5000, adding 1, taking the integer of that and zero-padding to 2 places.

By default, awk prints the entire input record when you don't specify anything else. So, print > outfile writes the entire input record to the output file.

As you are running on Windows, you can't use single quotes because it doesn't like that. I think you have to put the script in a file and then tell awkto use the file, something like this:

awk -f script.awk yourfile

and script.awk will contain the script like this:

{outfile=sprintf("file%02d.txt",NR/5000+1);print > outfile}

Or, it may work if you do this:

awk "{outfile=sprintf(\"file%02d.txt\",NR/5000+1);print > outfile}" yourfile

Syntax looks like:

$ split [OPTION] [INPUT [PREFIX]]

where prefix is PREFIXaa, PREFIXab, ...

Just use proper one and youre done or just use mv for renameing. I think $ mv * *.txt should work but test it first on smaller scale.

My requirement was a bit different. I often work with Comma Delimited and Tab Delimited ASCII files where a single line is a single record of data. And they're really big, so I need to split them into manageable parts (whilst preserving the header row).

So, I reverted back to my classic VBScript method and bashed together a small .vbs script that can be run on any Windows computer (it gets automatically executed by the WScript.exe script host engine on Window).

The benefit of this method is that it uses Text Streams, so the underlying data isn't loaded into memory (or, at least, not all at once). The result is that it's exceptionally fast and it doesn't really need much memory to run. The test file I just split using this script on my i7 was about 1 GB in file size, had about 12 million lines of test and made 25 part files (each with about 500k lines each) – the processing took about 2 minutes and it didn’t go over 3 MB memory used at any point.

The caveat here is that it relies on the text file having "lines" (meaning each record is delimited with a CRLF) as the Text Stream object uses the "ReadLine" function to process a single line at a time. But hey, if you're working with TSV or CSV files, it's perfect.

Option Explicit

Private Const INPUT_TEXT_FILE = "c:\bigtextfile.txt"  'The full path to the big file

Private Const LINES_PER_PART = 500000                 'The number of lines per part file

Set oInputFile = oFileSystem.OpenTextFile(INPUT_TEXT_FILE, 1, False)
Set oOutputFile = oFileSystem.OpenTextFile(Replace(INPUT_TEXT_FILE, sFileExt, "_" & iOutputFile & sFileExt), 2, True)

If REPEAT_HEADER_ROW Then
    iLineCounter = 1
    sHeaderLine = oInputFile.ReadLine()
    Call oOutputFile.WriteLine(sHeaderLine)

    sLine = oInputFile.ReadLine()

        Call oOutputFile.Close()
        Set oOutputFile = oFileSystem.OpenTextFile(Replace(INPUT_TEXT_FILE, sFileExt, "_" & iOutputFile & sFileExt), 2, True)

This "File Splitter" Windows command line program works nicely: https://github.com/dubasdey/File-Splitter

It's open source, simple, documented, proven, and worked for me.

Example:

fsplit -split 50 mb mylargefile.txt

here is one in c# that doesn't run out of memory when splitting into large chunks! I needed to split 95M file into 10M x line files.

var fileSuffix = 0;
int lines = 0;
Stream fstream = File.OpenWrite($"{filename}.{(++fileSuffix)}");
StreamWriter sw = new StreamWriter(fstream);

using (var file = File.OpenRead(filename))
using (var reader = new StreamReader(file))
{
    while (!reader.EndOfStream)
    {
        sw.WriteLine(reader.ReadLine());
        lines++;

        if (lines >= 10000000)
        {
              sw.Close();
              fstream.Close();
              lines = 0;
              fstream = File.OpenWrite($"{filename}.{(++fileSuffix)}");
              sw = new StreamWriter(fstream);
        }
    }
}

sw.Close();
fstream.Close();

I have created a simple program for this and your question helped me complete the solution... I added one more feature and few configurations. In case you want to add a specific character/ string after every few lines (configurable). Please go through the notes. I have added the code files : https://github.com/mohitsharma779/FileSplit
