Splitting huge XML Files into fixsized wellformed parts

Hi,

I need to split xml-files with sizes greater than 2 gb into smaler chunks. As I dont want to end up with billions of files, I want those splitted files to have configurable sizes like 250 MB. Each file should be well formed having an exact copy of the header (and footer as the closing of the header) from the original file. Forthermore, a table should be generated were I can see, that the File X is seperated into Part N with timestamp:

The Original XML-Files look like this:

<?xml ...>
<Headerelement with some infos to be copied 1to1>
<OfferInfo>
<OfferID></OfferID>
...
</OfferInfo>
<OfferInfo>
<OfferID></OfferID>
...
</OfferInfo>
<OfferInfo>
<OfferID></OfferID>
...
</OfferInfo>
</Headerelement>

-------------------------
Protocol Table:

Orginalfilename|Name of PartN|Size of PartN|Timestamp

-------------------------

All in all I ended up with reading the XML processing docus of gawk,
but as it seems I am lacking some deeper programming skills.. Could
someone please help?

Thx
Malapha

NAME
xmltex, pdfxmltex - xml non-validating parser in TeX SYNOPSIS
xmltex xml file pdfxmltex xml file DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the xmltex, and pdfxmltex commands. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in HTML and PS format in the /usr/share/doc/xmltex directory. xmltex and pdfxmltex is a TeX XML parser able to transform XML documents into .dvi files. xmltex knows nothing about your XML files. It needs to load some special macros files, usually with the .xmt extension. A configuration file, either named xmltex.cfg or jobname.cfg, is parsed. An especially useful configuration command is xmltraceoff which disables XML elements tracing. xmltex already knows about many XML schemata, such as TEI, TEI.2, MathML, SEC, HTML and XSL-FO, the support for the latest being provided by the passivetex package. SEE ALSO
The programs are documented fully in their own manual in the /usr/share/doc/xmltex directory. latex(1), tex(1) AUTHOR
This manual page was written by Fabien Ninoles <fabien@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). XMLTEX(1)
