split-win

A split command for Windows which likes that of the non-Windows. And some tools.

This splits a big file to specific size files. And also, it creates a list of file checksum and a BAT file that joins the split files into a file (i.e. an original file).

Usage

It is recommended to save the split.ps1 and split.cmd files into the Path folder such as C:\Windows\System32, to be able to use from anywhere.

Run this command in console:

split target-file

Or, you can drag & drop a target file to a split.cmd icon.

For example, split test.jpg was run, and then, these files were created:

test.jpg.001
test.jpg.002
test.jpg.003
test.jpg.checksum
test.jpg.join.bat
test.jpg.join.test.bat

• test.jpg.001 ... test.jpg.N: The split files. The number of files differs depending on the -size option and the size of original file.
• test.jpg.checksum: A list of file checksum (SHA1).
• test.jpg.join.bat: A BAT file to join the split files into a file (i.e. an original file).
• test.jpg.join.test.bat: A BAT file to test whether the joined file and the original file are perfect equal.
