Today, I had the opportunity to be the hero/savior of the day. The marketing department of my employer has been sending some data to be analyzed by a third party. One of the files was a monster 2.2 gig text file.

None of the text editors that we tried could cope with this titanic file. So at a conference call, we were going back and forth trying to find a solution to this dilemma. I suggested to split it up into more manageable chunks. I got Text File Splitter and let it work on this file.

So it took about 36 minutes to split this file into eleven (11) 200 meg chunks, and a remainder 68 meg file.

Nice!
