I think I did not asked my query properly, and the list of the files caused an confusion.

let me reiterate.

The files list provided above are created in the dir /data/OAS/rcap/

the script should be able to pick the file one by one and split. by having the suffix originalfilename.seg** where ** could be numbers or alphabetics.

later the split files should be gzipped by removing the original file.

Hi Pikk45,.

Could you let me know the changes accordingly.
