split file

[AndrisS]

Good day,

I need help from you.

I have to split and create output files by every 30.000 recordings.
Example ,

Input file has 150.000 (transaction.txt) recordings of bank accounts transactions.
The C code has to split this file and create output files by 30.000 records each from input file.
(transaction1.txt, transaction2.txt, transaction3.txt and etc.).The transaction.txt (150.000 recordings) has to be split on many files with 30.000 recordings.
So , does anybody know how to do this?
How C code will look like for this operation?

Thank you very much.

The records appear to be fixed length. Is that right?

If they are fixed length, then the easiest and most efficient way would probably to read record_size * 30000 bytes & write that to a file, then continue do that until you reach the end of the input file.

$ split --help
Usage: split [OPTION] [INPUT [PREFIX]]
Output fixed-size pieces of INPUT to PREFIXaa, PREFIXab, ...; default
size is 1000 lines, and default PREFIX is `x'. With no INPUT, or when INPUT
is -, read standard input.

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-a, --suffix-length=N use suffixes of length N (default 2)
-b, --bytes=SIZE put SIZE bytes per output file
-C, --line-bytes=SIZE put at most SIZE bytes of lines per output file
-d, --numeric-suffixes use numeric suffixes instead of alphabetic
-l, --lines=NUMBER put NUMBER lines per output file
--verbose print a diagnostic to standard error just
before each output file is opened
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit

SIZE may have a multiplier suffix: b for 512, k for 1K, m for 1 Meg.

But if it's your homework to do it in C, then start with fgets() and fputs().
