I am not sure if this is the right forum for this, my apologies if it
is not.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a standard file splitting and joining
utility that I can use in the bash shell in Linux and Mac OS X (i.e.
all Unix variants if possible)?
Thanks for any help,
Michael

If by "joining" you mean inversion of the splitting...Quote:> I was wondering if anyone knew of a standard file splitting and joining

man split
man cat
Split splits files after a defined number of lines (or bytes) and cat
concatenates files.

We don't really understand it, so we'll give it to the programmers.
Hello,
I downloaded the StarOffice 6.0 beta but as I have only a 100MB ZIP drive
I needed to split the files. I did this on my Windows box in the office.
At home I wanted to join the two files with the following command
cat so6.001 so6.002 > so6.bin (the actual filenames where different)
chmod a+x so6.bin
When I execute the resulting file, I get a strange error. Something
like "end-of-zip directory not found" and several other messages and
the installer refuses to start.
What am I missing here?
I know I have the option to download several smaller files and I will
probably do that, but still I'd like to know if I did something
wrong when joining the two files.
Cheers and thanks in advance
Thomas
