Splitting a huge file? Use Gsplit

Absolutely loved this tool.

I had to split a 11 million records file into manageable chunks or 'pieces' as Gsplit calls it. It gave me the choice to whether the number and size be auto determined or you can say i want this split into x pieces and the tool does it for you.

Get it here and split in a split minute!

Only extra work was to go to end of each piece and remove their tag message and some additional characters mostly 1 or 2 lines at max. Not a big deal at all, so this tool is a great timesaver!
