Can you recommend a good text file splitter?

Hello!

I have a text file with a list of about 6,000+ keywords and would like to split this text file into several smaller text files, with about the same number of keywords each. I know there is software that can do that very quickly
(doing it manually would be very tedious, especially if I want to split this file into 10 or 15 smaller files). Does anyone know what software I can use and
where I can find it?

Thank you very much for your help,

Best Regards,

Robert

 

Open your file with MS Excel. You can do the splitting easily and then export your smaller files as text.

 

Thank you for your advice. I do have Excel, but very little experience in using it. I wouldn't know how to do what you describe.

split on linux/unix is your best friend

 

The best tool for that job would be Keyword Controller - it lets you break up a list of keywords in a number of different ways so you can get it to break your list of 6,000 into random amounts, set amounts or just about anything else in between!

I should know - I wrote it!
