This python script can split a big file into smaller files and then can recreate the original file from the splits. It's useful to overcome size limitations existing in some content sharing or cloud storage applications.
To split the file example.dat with size 1000MB into splits of 10MB run the command:
$ python split_file.py SPLIT ABS_PATH_TO/example.dat 10The program will produce in the same directory a folder SPLITS containing the 100 splits, each split is named like the original file but the extension is replaced with "SPLIT_N" where N is the number of the split.
To recreate example.dat run the command:
$ python split_file.py RECREATE ABS_PATH_TO/example.SPLIT_0Where the second argument is the absolute path of the first split (The one with extension SPLIT_0)
