How To Split Large Excel or CSV Files into Smaller Files

Does anyone know how to split a large Excel or CSV file into multiple smaller files? Or, is there an app that will work with Mac to do that?

split [-a suffix_length] [-b byte_count[k|m]] [-l line_count] [-p pattern] [file [name]]
is a native Terminal command. Read up more on https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/ man1/split.1.html
I prefer to use gSplit which is gnu coreutils.
You can install gnu coreutils using homebrew.

How To Divide Source File Into Smaller Files Without Exporting?

Hello Everyone,
I'm a beginner with PPro CS4 and to video editing in general. I've done a lot of Googling and searching of these forums to get an answer to this question, but I haven't found a clear answer. Here's my problem:
I have many hours of HDV footage shot over the past few years with a Canon HV30. This footage is on dozens of DV tape cassettes. I want to capture most of it to disk.
When I capture a tape to disk, I get a single large mpeg4 file. (PPro captures all HDV footage to mpeg4.) "Scene select" doesn't work with the HV30, so my only other way to make smaller capture files would be to set In/Out points with batch capture. But this would mean hours of fast-forwarding and reversing with the VCR-like controls on the camera to review all the tapes and set the points. I thought it might be FASTER to simply capture an entire tape in one operation, THEN review the captured tape within PPro (it's much faster using the scrubber), and dividing that file into smaller files within PPro, thereby avoiding all the mechanical fast-forwarding and rewinding on the camera itself.
But the only way I can find to do this seems to involve EXPORTING clips. Am I wrong to think that exporting a clip to a new file involves a degradation of the original mpeg4 source file? Or will there be no loss to the quality if I simply export to mpeg4 format?
It seems there should be an easy way to simply divide the original capture into smaller source files for later editing, without putting the footage through another generation of processing (exporting), which might entail some loss of quality. Or am I wrong about this?
(CS4 Master Suite, i7 3630k, 16GB RAM, C: 256GB SSD, D: 1T Setpoint F3, E: 1T Setpoint F3)

HDV footage is mpeg2 (whats in a number ). CS4 does not do scene detect you need to use HDV split for that.

You can run your already captured files through hdv split and it will chop the file into clips and off you go.

How to chunk the XML files into smaller files using peoplecode.

We are trying to load the Invoices through our XMLDoc PeopleCode that we have written long back.
Previously the file is not that big and we are able to load them successfully. But now each file is more than 200MB and we are getting the below error when initiated the process..
Process Request shows status of 'INITIATED' or 'PROCESSING' but no longer running “.
I tried to chunk the file manually to 50MB it is able to run it properly but chuncking manually is not possible for all the files as it is time taking process..
Is there any way that we can check on Webserver/Appserver whether whats happening and how to handle this error..
Or any sample code to divide the big file into smaller files..
Please let me know your thoughts..

Good morning Ashok,
Your data is in a SQL*Loader supported datatype, so basically it should not be a problem.
Have you checked the Database Utilities guide (for Oracle9i for instance: http://www.lc.leidenuniv.nl/awcourse/oracle/server.920/a96652/toc.htm) on how to handle this?
I'll also repeat my previous question, have you ever been able to load data into the database using SQL*Loader (either using ASCII values or any other datatype)?
For the OWB part, have you read "Importing Data Definitions" (typically chapter 4)? More specifically, "Specifying Field Properties" in "About Flat File Sources and Targets"?
In "SQL*Loader Properties" it says the following:
Type Describes the data type of the field for the SQL*Loader. You can use the Flat
File Sample Wizard to import the following data types: CHAR, DATE, DECIMAL
EXTERNAL, FLOAT EXTERNAL, INTEGER EXTERNAL, ZONED , AND ZONED
EXTERNAL. For complete information on SQL*Loader field and data types, refer to
Oracle9i Utilities. Currently, only portable datatypes are supported.
If you check the database utitlities guide (chapter 6 Field List Reference) and look for "SQL*Loader Datatypes", you'll find (packed) decimal under the Nonportable Datatypes. This implies that OWB does not support it.
This does not mean you can't use SQL*Loader, you'll only have to define everything separate from OWB and call it separately as well.
Good luck, Patrick

Break large TDMS file into small files

hello all
My TDMS file is around 3g, and needs changed into around 10M size files.
I ran McRorie's splitFiles.vi ‏15 KB in this page. and set the number of samples per file as 5000000, however, I cannot get the results I need. every small file is only 1KB, and no data inside. What is the possible problem in this?
Also, I tried to write a vi based on sample vi(Read TDMS File) by adding one "write to measurement file.vi". However, when I set the small file size as 10M Byte inside the"write to measurement file.vi", the first file could be around 20M, and the next few files may be correct as 10M, and then it just stop splitting, edding with a file even much larger than original file. I uploaded my vi here, maybe someone can help to find some mistake for me.
Thanks very much!

Read TDMS File.vi ‏54 KB

Hi Wuwei,
After giving the correct data type to TDMS Read node in splitFiles.vi, it works as expected. ( See the attached two VIs: createFile.vi and the modified splitFiles.vi)
Because I don't know how you created your TDMS file, I write a new 3G bytes TDMS file, which has one group and one channel. The data type of samples is unsigned 16-bit Integer. The total number of samples is 1610612736. Then I set the number of samples per file to 5000000 as you did. So after splitting, each file size is 5000000*(16/8) bytes (around 10M bytes).
Please make sure the followed steps have been done before you run the splitFiles.vi:
1. The TDMS file will be split has been put on the proper path;
2. The correct group and channel names have been given;
3. The correct data type to TDMS Read node has been given.
Because your second option using "write to measurement file.vi" to split TDMS file will lose some information, such as group and channel names. So I suggest using the method used by splitFiles.vi to accomplish your goal.

How to cut up a large video file into smaller files?

I have a 30 minute video file I recorded on my camera. I need to make it into 6 smaller video so I can work on them separately instead of importing such a large file in final cut. Is there a way I can do this with Final Cut Pro?
Thanks in advanced!

No. FCP is a non-destructive editor. Once you ingest a clip it stays there on your drive unchanged until you delete it. FCP is really a dataaaaabase with instructions for playing back clips in order, applying filters, audio adjustments etc. If you want separate clips you have two options: either log and capture in chunks, or set markers on the clip and export smaller pieces, then re-import them.
But I guess the question in my mind is, if it's already captured, why bother? you'll do your editing of the segments and export the finished pieces anyway...

Is there a design pattern for splitting up files into smaller files?

I am developing a project where I have to load very large files (upto 50 MB). Currently I am loading these files completely into (consecutive) memory. This has the advantage that I can very easily change bytes at certain locations, because I do not know the
structure of all bytes.
However, my intention is to also change the structure, e.g. removing/adding 'chunks'. Now I have the idea to remove the 'known' parts out of it, store them in classes with a data chunk only containing those parts and make a sort of reference list to those chunks.
E.g.:
Original file:
Header
ChunkA 1
ChunkA 2
Intermediate
ChunkB 1
Footer
The result will be:
ChunkA 1 and ChunkA 2 instance. ChunkB 1 instance
'File' instance and a reference with base offsets + reference to all chunks.
At the end I have to 'recreate' or write the original file (with changes) back.
Is this in general a good idea or is there some design pattern helping me in this?

50MB is not much in the modern era of 6GB+ machines. If you want to optimize memory then consider using a
memory mapped file.
But you mentioned making data structure changes. This is generally dangerous as you have to be concerned about things like disaster recovery. What happens if you are in the middle of saving the modified structure when the program dies? You just corrupted
your file. A better solution is to stream the existing file using BinaryReader to read in the existing file in parts based upon the structure. Write out the data to a new, temporary file using BinaryWriter. This may be the original data or your modifications
depending upon need. Once you've generated the new file replace the old file (with optional backup). So even if something catastrophic happens during saving you don't lose the original file.

How to import large excel files which exceeds more then 65535 rows

Hi there,
I am using the latest Numbers version (v3.5.3) on the latest Yosemite (10.10.3) and wonder if and how it is possible to import an Excel file which exceeds the 65535 limit. I know MS Excel has change this limit to 156118 rows. But I don't have that program. I am only using the Mac versions.
Thanks in advance.

Hello NavNak.
My knee jerk reaction would be to split the incoming Excel file. (How else can a gallon of water fit into a half gallon jug?) I googled 'Excel file splitter' and up came a bunch of hits with one of them coming from this Apple Community. Check out thread #6486876 which is How To Split Large Excel or CSV Files into Smaller Files
Good luck.

How to convert a large PDF into smaller files

How does one convert a large PDF file into smaller files and not get odd page breaks. Need to get the page breaks at the headers. Just looking for instructions for an end user of Acrobat Pro who reports getting random page breaks and couldn't get help from the Adobe help desk. I was directed here when I tried to contact support ... Figure this forum may have information. ... thanks.

You can't. If you split the file into pages it will remain in the same layout the original has. PDF files were not meant to be edited in the way you're describing.

Splitting a large video file into smaller segments/clips using FCE

Is there a way to split a large FCE / iMovie Captured event into smaller segments/clips.
Am attempting to convert my home videos ( Analog: 8mm) into iMovie clips.
Used a ADS Pyro that converts my composite signal ( RCA: Yellow+Red/White) to a digital signal via Firewire using the iMovie capture. However, this creates a single 2 hour file that takes approx 26Gb because there is now DV information.
I would like to (a) Break this into smaller segments/clips then (b) Change the date on these.

Do you know if this will create a new file(s) ?

What I want to do is to break up my 2 hours video into smaller chunks then burn the good chunks as raw footage ( AVI/MOV) onto backup data DVDs. Then export all the chunks into compresssed files (MPEG-4?) and save these on another data DVD.
Avoid to compress. Save as quicktime movie.

Splitting large video files into small chunks and combining them

Hi All,
Thank you for viewing my thread. I have searched for hours but cannot find any information on this topic.
I need to upload very large video files. The files can be something like 10GB in size, currently .mpeg format but they may be .mp4 format later on too.
Since the files will be uploaded remotely using using internet from the clients mobile device (3G or 4G in UK) I need to split the files into smaller chunks. This way if there is a connection issue (very likely as the files are large) I can resume the upload without doing the whole 10gb again.
My question is, what can I use to split a large file like 10Gb into smaller chunks like 200mb, upload the files and then combine them again? Is there a jar file that I can use. i cant install stuff like ffmpeg or JMF on the clients laptops.
Thank you for your time.
Kind regards,
Imran

There is a Unix command called split that does just that splits a file into chunks of a size you specify. When you want to put the bits bact together you use the command cat.
If you are comfortable in the terminal you can look at the man page for split for more information.
Both commands are data blind and work on binary as well as text files so I would think this should work for video but of course check it out to see if the restored file still works as video.

How do I break music files into smaller pieces to save battery life?

Apple claims that ipod battery life is improved if music files are less than 9mb for some reason that involves having to load music into the cache more often. Most of my music files are much larger than 9mb and I would like to break up the files into smaller pieces. How can I do this using itunes? Or do I need to use another program?

Most likely the reason your songs are over 9 MB are because they were recorded or "Ripped" In a high bit rate. The bit rate is basicly how many bits per second are played. the higher the bit rate the better the sound is in most cases. in MP3's 128kbs is CD qualidy and is the average, theres also 160kbs and 192kbs. anything above 192 most humans can't tell the difference. theres 2 things u can do, if you have the music on CD u can take the time to rip them again at a lower bit rate MP3 in iTunes or you can have iTunes convert all your songs into the AAC format. If you convert them to AAC tho, you will only be able to play them on your iPod and iTunes only.
You may be able to find free software that will convert all your mp3s to a lower bit rate or compact them more but there are other things you can do to extend your battery. Make sure your iPods EQ setting is off, shorted the amount of time the backlight is on in the iPod settings, lower the volume while playing ur iPod will save the battery. Another thing is to make a good playlist of all the songs u like, so your not constantly switching to other songs. every time u switch songs the iPod has to spin the harddrive inside it and thats a big power drain on the battery.

FCP Splits QT movie file into several files... problem and solution.

Hi All,
I was having problems exporting a QT movie (Video Only) of a 20 min Reel within a Feature Film I edited. The Database was quite large - the film was 2Hrs and Footage was about 12X.
FCP would split the QT movie file into several files - only one of which was openable (either in FCP or the QT player). To my surprise, I also found that even though the file opened fine, I would get an error message when trying to copy it or its associated files over to another HD (Tiger would abort, after giving me an error No. and saying that there was an error while copying). The problem was repeatable and specific to this sequence.
After some testing, I found that copying the clips (Video Only) to another sequence and re-exporting, seemed to solve the problem. My take on this is that too many ( > 12? ) Audio tracks causes problems in FCP when the database is large.
But I do need these additional tracks. Any work arounds?
Thanks,
RD

First, look in System Settings, and see if you've checked the box to limit file size to 2GB. Uncheck that box. See if that helps.
Or it could just be a corrupt project causing the problem.

How to update link and import data of relocated incx file into inca file?

Subject : how to update link and import data of relocated incx file into inca file.?
