Re^2: xml_split - split huge XML documents into smaller chunks

Hi, Instead of putting each section in to a each file, can I put some first 1000 sections in one file, and next 1000 in other file and so on. When there are 16000 sections so many files getting created in hard to handle them.

Sorry I did not see this follow-up. Yes you can. In recent versions of `xml_split`, the `-g` or the `-s` options should give you what you need: -s <size> generates files of (approximately) <size>. The content of each file is enclosed in a new element ("xml_split::root"), so it’s well-formed XML. The size can be given in bytes, Kb, Mb or Gb. -g <nb> groups <nb> elements in a single file. The content of each file is enclosed in a new element ("xml_split::root"), so it’s well-formed XML.	[reply]

   -g <nb>

      of each file is enclosed in a new element 
     ("xml_split::root"), so it’s well-formed XML.
