Split File based on number of rows
Hi
I have a requirement, where i will receive multiple files in a folder (say: /fol1/fol2/). There will be at least 14 to 16 files. The size of the files will different, some may be 80GB or 90GB, some may be less than 5 GB (and the size of the files are very unpredictable). But the names of the files will be have a particular format like "Table1_Insert.dat" , Table1_Update.dat, Table1_delete.dat, Table2_ins.dat, Table2_upd.dat, Table2_del.dat... like this...
I have to read one file at a time, check the size of the file (in GB), if the file size is greater than 90 GB (file size wont be more than 100GB always), then split the files into 5GB. So if the file size is 90 GB, then it should split the source file into 18 sub files (like TT_table1_ins.dataa, TT_Table1_ins.datab , TT_Table1_ins.datac... etc)
I want my script to take only one input argument - just the file name (with the path).
I know we can do this using split -l command, but i need some help. Can somebody help me with a script. I'm very new to shell scripting. I can understand the commands but cannot write a script...
Thanks
