Hello friends,
Is there any way to split file from n to n+6 into 1 file and (n+7) to (n+16) into other file etc.
f.e I have source pipe delimated file with 20 lines and i need to split 1-6 in file1 and 7-16 in file2 and 17-20 in file 3
I need to split into fixed number of file like 4 files based on the line numbers.
Your help is much appreciated. Thanks

bp_dbsplit
BP_DBSPLIT(1p) User Contributed Perl Documentation BP_DBSPLIT(1p)
NAME
dbsplit - script to split an input set of database(s) into smaller pieces
SYNOPSIS
dbsplit.PLS --size 50 [-i inputfile] [-if inputformat] [-of outputformat]
[--prefix outputprefix] [ < file1 file 2 OR file1 file2]
DESCRIPTION
This script will take as input a list of filenames or a single file or from STDIN a sequence database and split the database into separate
files of X numbers of sequences. You specify X with the "--size/-s" parameter. The input and output sequence format is any that is
supported by bioperl (fasta,embl,genbank,gcg, swissprot, etc).
You can specify the input data either as a single file with -i filename, or as a single file as an argument like
% dbsplit file1 file2
or as a list of sequence data with
% cat file1 file2 file3 | dbsplit
You'll want to use the "--prefix" to specify what the output prefix will be.
