If your .xls files are excel spreadsheets, awk and split are not going to work. The awk utility is designed to work on text files. Microsoft's excel spreadsheets are binary files; not text files. The cut utility will work on binary files, but there is no reason to believe that you could use cut -l since there is no reason to believe that rows in a table in a .xls file have a 1-to-1 correspondence to newlines in the .xls file.

If you export the table from excel into a .csv text file, then awk and cut and lots of other utilities could be used to split the .csv file into smaller .csv files containing a set number of lines desired in each resulting file.

NAME
installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
installsieve DESCRIPTION
installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server. OPTIONS
-v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output. -l List all of the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active script. -p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services. -i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten. Upon sucessfully putting the script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since sieve names may not contain a '.'. -a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option.. -d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>. -m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen. -g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already exists it is overwritten. -u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user. CMU
