Split a File

Use the File Splitter dialog box to split a file into multiple files. You can split an import file before importing it and split an export file after exporting it.

To split a file

1. From the menu bar, click Tools > Split File. The File Splitter dialog box appears.

2. Click the ellipsis next to File to Split.

3. In the Open dialog box, click the file to split and then click Open. The path and file name appear in the File to Split box.

4. In the Num lines per file box, type or click the number of records to include in each file. For example, if you have a file with 100 records and set this number to 25, the system splits the file into 4 separate files with 25 records each.

5. In the Regular Expression Pattern box, type the character for the regular expression to match to identify a new record.

6. Click Split.
