hi, friends, rather than that ,
why don't u use=20
split <file_name>
command of unix, it has options about how many lines each file to be = splitted into, also it gives the name on its own, better if u move the = file to be splitted into a new directory so that u will get the original = file with all its equally splitted files with sequence numbers attached = will be available within the same file,=20 i've used it long back, i just remembered , hence informing. for more info=20
$man split
u'll get the details
regards
k.mahesh



use combinations of head and tail and re-direct the output

head -10000 filename>filename2 puts 1st 10000 lines into = filename2
tail +10001 filename|head -10000>filename3 puts next 10000 lines into = filename3

etc....see man pages for more info
