The split command will give no screen output if it works. It will have created files in the current directory, probably names xaa, xab, xac etc. so you probably end at xbj or somewhere like that. You can force it to create files matching a specific pattern (and directory) if you choose and you might be allowed to use the --verbose flag to see it creating files.

From the commands you have shown us, I don't see where crunch1.txt comes in to it. Can you capture everything on the screen in one go from this:-

Code:
set -x                                                      # Turn on debug
ls -l ~/Documents/Wordlists/file.txt                        # Show us what the input file is (... and assuming it is below your home directory)
file ~/Documents/Wordlists/file.txt                         # Show us if it is complex or plain text
head ~/Documents/Wordlists/file.txt                         # Show us if it is complex or plain text
cd $(mktmp -d)                                              # Creates & changes to a new directory in /tmp so we know it's empty.
split --verbose -b 1000m  ~/Documents/Wordlists/file.txt    # Attempt the work
pwd ; ls -l                                                 # Show us the output
set +x                                                      # Turn on debug

If you can paste this back wrapped in CODE tags then we can see where we are.



Thanks, in advance,
Robin

gensprep

gensprep(8)							 ICU 50.1.2 Manual						       gensprep(8)

NAME

       gensprep - compile StringPrep data from files filtered by filterRFC3454.pl

SYNOPSIS

       gensprep [ -h, -?, --help ] [ -v, --verbose ] [ -c, --copyright ] [ -s, --sourcedir source ] [ -d, --destdir destination ]

DESCRIPTION

       gensprep reads filtered RFC 3454 files and compiles their information into a binary form.  The resulting file, <name>.icu, can then be read
       directly by ICU, or used by pkgdata(8) for incorporation into a larger archive or library.

       The files read by gensprep are described in the FILES section.

OPTIONS

       -h, -?, --help
	      Print help about usage and exit.

       -v, --verbose
	      Display extra informative messages during execution.

       -c, --copyright
	      Include a copyright notice into the binary data.

       -s, --sourcedir source
	      Set the source directory to source.  The default source directory is specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA.

       -d, --destdir destination
	      Set the destination directory to destination.  The default destination directory is specified by the environment variable ICU_DATA.

ENVIRONMENT

       ICU_DATA  Specifies the directory containing ICU data. Defaults to /usr/share/icu/50.1.2/.  Some tools in ICU depend on the presence of the
		 trailing slash. It is thus important to make sure that it is present if ICU_DATA is set.

FILES

       The  following files are read by gensprep and are looked for in the source /misc for rfc3454_*.txt files and in source /unidata for Normal-
       izationCorrections.txt.

       rfc3453_A_1.txt	   Contains the list of unassigned codepoints in Unicode version 3.2.0....

       rfc3454_B_1.txt	   Contains the list of code points that are commonly mapped to nothing....

       rfc3454_B_2.txt	   Contains the list of mappings for casefolding of  code points when Normalization form NFKC is specified....

       rfc3454_C_X.txt	   Contains the list of code points that are prohibited for IDNA.

       NormalizationCorrections.txt
			   Contains the list of code points whose normalization has changed since Unicode Version 3.2.0.
