sort | split

[aj2taylo]

Hello,

I'm trying to manage some large files and will need to use the unix sort and split command. I'm doing something like:

sort -m -T /some/dir fileA fileB fileC | split -l 1000000

The problem is I want to set a prefix for the split files, and can't figure out how to do this (when I append a prefix to the end of that command, it breaks).

Any suggestions?

Hi

Hell. The above is completely wrong. This is the solution :

sort -m -T /some/dir fileA fileB fileC | split -l 1000000 [red]-[/red] prefix
