Split_join_bash

This project is to split files using command lines from a unix based terminal.

Split

To split a file, you need 2 arguments: the number of chunks and the file name.

Usage

./split_file.sh 5 big_file.ext

or

bash split_file.sh 5 big_file.ext

You will be having 5 chunks with names starting by part_.

The files will be then moved to a new folder big_file.ext.folder

Join

To join the chunks, you need the folder where they are located.

Usage

./join_files.sh  big_file.ext.folder/

or

bash join_files.sh  big_file.ext.folder/

The output file will land in the folder previously created.

---

Please modify the output file to match the original file's extension.
