Cool...thanks

---------- Post updated at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous update was at 01:05 AM ----------

Ok...I am almost done here but little issue with the way files are getting renamed after the split. Here is my final script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
splitFileDir=/home/cognosdev/texas

find $splitFileDir -type f -size +5242800c -print 2>/dev/null | while read file
do
  echo split -b 5242800 $file ${file}__
  rm $file
  echo 'splitting completed'
done

So a file like 99I999877_ABCD.txt gets split and renamed as :
Code:
99I999877_ABCD.txt_aa
99I999877_ABCD.txt_ab

I would like for them to be something like:
Code:
99I999877_ABCD_aa.txt
99I999877_ABCD_ab.txt

How can I achieve this?

Thanks.
