Hi,<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;I have a base file of approx. 300K records. I want to write a batch file that can cut up this file into x portions in sequential order. The x is provided as a input parameter to the batch. We can name the output files as batch&lt;1-x&gt;.txt<br />
<br />
Sample base file contains the following contents:<br />
&quot;\\server1\file1&quot;<br />
''\\Server2\file2&quot;<br />
etc<br />
<br />
How do I do this?

Hi,

   I have a base file of approx. 300K records. I want to write a batch file that can cut up this file into x portions in sequential order. The x is provided as a input parameter to the batch. We can name the output files as batch<1-x>.txt

Sample base file contains the following contents:
"\\server1\file1"
''\\Server2\file2"
etc

How do I do this?

Cutting up a base file into x parts

Batch files are text files containing a script of commands that are executed by the command interpreter on DOS, OS/2 and Windows systems. Most commonly, they are used to perform a series of functions that are repeated -- copying a set of files created daily with one step, for example.

Windows Batch

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS) was an operating system for x86-based personal computers, and traces of it are still found in the Windows operating system. DOS is still used in some embedded systems and for certain legacy 16-bit networks.
