Want to process file in 1000 record increments

I have a file that varies in the # of records. I want to read 1000 records, do something, read the next 1000 records, do something, going in 1000 increment chunks, and then finish up with whatever is left over at end of file.

Take a look at the split command to break the file into pieces. The -l option sets the linecount, but the default is already 1000 lines.

Do a man split on your unix system to read more. Pay special attention to the output filenaming conventions.
