Splitting Audiobook files
Hello,
I have an audiobook that I would like to burn as an audio CD. The main problem is that each of the seven files is at least two hours in length. How would one break it up as to fit across several CDs? I have a feeling that the word "GarageBand" is going to come up. I know nothing about GarageBand.
Thanks
How do you get that setting to come up?
It happens automatically during the burn. However, this may create an awkward start point on CD's subsequent to the first one.
If you want each CD to start at a specific point, then you would need to use a sound editor, such as Amadeus to create custom files of the original. It's a rather straight forward process, and not too time consuming once you get the hang of it.
Once done, you can reimport the custom files back into iTunes via drag/drop. In iTunes, you would need to create a separate playlist for each custom file for purposes of burning.

How to split pdf files also how to downsize a pdf file?
how to split pdf files also how to downsize a pdf file?
Hi Ali,
If the PDF file you're starting with is larger than 100MB, ExportPDF won't be able to convert it.
To convert a file of that size and to create separate files, you'll need Adobe Acrobat. You'd need Acrobat to divide the file into smaller chunks for ExportPDF anyhow, so Acrobat is probably the best solution for you. You can learn more about Acrobat here: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html
Kindest regards, Stacy -
This problem only surfaced a couple of months ago. Audiobook files which used to play fine suddenly startted to cut out after a few minutes (playing according to the countdown but silent).
I tried restoring, resetting, etc but nothing worked. THen I deleted some and redownloaded. BIG MISTAKE. iTunes tried to bill me for these again!! I have been in dispute for week about this and they have finally promised to refund this as it is a 'special' case, but there are still book that are cutting out!!!
This is frustrating and there seems to be no way of sorting it out. The files play perfrctly through iTUnes from my PC but each time a update, the same problem occurs.
Help!!!Wow, just posting and it seems that there is a solution that is working for me...
What I've did is I turned off iTunes Match on my iPhone, then turned in on again. Now in my iTunes library on my mac I can get the duplicates to be matched or uploaded to iCloud with a right-click, add to iCloud. iTunes Match starts to check the songs and everything is done correctly. Pretty nice! -
How to split a file by using Native Format Builder?
Hi all,
Please help me with this issue.
In this project we need to split a file to save in the db.
Following is the sample code and I would like to split this from 'BOH--------------' to 'BOT---------------' (as in BOLD)
But as you can see sometimes 'BOT' line comes up multiple times so I need to skip few 'BOT's until I meet new 'BOH' line.
I guess I have to use complex type in Native Format Builder, but I'm not sure how to..
Please help me with this situation.
Thanks in advance.

Edited by: 964067 on Oct 14, 2012 11:26 PMHi,
Firstly please ensure that the file that you are reading is bound to have a format of some sort.
I will relate this to one of the requirement we did it in previous projects.
We have a requirement to read a csv file coming in:
1) It will be having records for Header (ODH) and Detail (ODL)
2) The Header and Detail records will be repeated 'N' number of times in the input file.
The schema we used it something as below to poll the CSV file:
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:nxsd="http://xmlns.oracle.com/pcbpel/nxsd"
xmlns:tns="http://TargetNamespace.com/ReadCSV" targetNamespace="http://TargetNamespace.com/ReadCSV"
elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified" nxsd:parseBom="true"
nxsd:version="NXSD" nxsd:stream="chars" nxsd:encoding="US-ASCII">
<xsd:element name="Package">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:choice minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded" nxsd:choiceCondition="terminated" nxsd:terminatedBy=",">
<xsd:element name="Header" nxsd:conditionValue="BOH">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="RecordAction" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" nxsd:style="terminated"
nxsd:terminatedBy="," nxsd:quotedBy="""/>
<xsd:element name="VisitType" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" nxsd:style="terminated"
nxsd:terminatedBy="," nxsd:quotedBy="""/>
<xsd:element name="OrderAction" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" nxsd:style="terminated"
nxsd:terminatedBy="," nxsd:quotedBy="""/>
<xsd:element name="Route" type="xsd:int" minOccurs="0" nxsd:style="terminated"
nxsd:terminatedBy="${eol}" nxsd:quotedBy="""/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
<xsd:element name="Lines" nxsd:conditionValue="BOD">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="RecordAction" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" nxsd:style="terminated"
nxsd:terminatedBy="," nxsd:quotedBy="""/>
<xsd:element name="OrderCode" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" nxsd:style="terminated"
nxsd:terminatedBy="," nxsd:quotedBy="""/>
<xsd:element name="ShippingUnitNumber" type="xsd:int" minOccurs="0" nxsd:style="terminated"
nxsd:terminatedBy="," nxsd:quotedBy="""/>
<xsd:element name="ProdOptDesc" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="0" nxsd:style="terminated"
nxsd:terminatedBy="${eol}" nxsd:quotedBy="""/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:choice>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>
So the approach we followed is as below:
1) Design two DB tables. One to put the header records in Header table
2) Put the detail records in Trailer table.
3) Poll from these two tables to trigger next business requirements.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

I've got a large 4GB+ file that I want to transfer onto my USB stick, but because it's a FAT32 format, it won't allow transferring over 4GBs.
How can I split the file into two 2GB files then reattach them after unzipping?Good observations but maybe I miss the part where the OP says imovie is involved.
I used Split&Concat when I was transferring files from a PC to a Mac when I had .mov files that were larger than the flash drive capacity. The flash drive was FAT format so this post specifically rang a bell. I am trying to remember what I used on the PC side but Split&Concat used the same file splitting format which was cross-platform. -
OS level command to split the file
Hi
I am processing large file.. I am using OS level command to split the file file i have given the following command to split the file
my file is /update/inbound/test/file.txt
i have given the following command in OS level command option
split -l 2000 /update/inbound/test/file.txt...
but i didnt see any splited files under this directory
How to write a command to split the file
Regards
SowmyaHi,
Have you tried with split /update/inbound/test/file.txt
Split can take a second filename on the command line.
Refer the exact syntax
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.aix.cmds/doc/aixcmds5/split.htm
Before applying it check , that if it works with your FTP, as this is Linux based command.
Thanks

I'm Starting in Java programing and need some help.
Based in the information of txt file, I need to split a file.txt into "n" .txt files, depending of the blocks thats the file containt. It's delimited by """".
And put the name between "UZ0RN0" the second field
Example:
"01APR02","UZ0RN0","******************************************
EMHA PNR.UZ0RN0 CR01APR 0419Z MEX BY GS BT
MEX GS BT 01APR 0421Z 385310 MX
"01APR02","TSCS44","******************************************
etc.
My question is how do I split a file into parts eg split test.txt into UZ0RN0.txt, TSCS44.txt, etc.
Pls help. Where do I start? I just need help with the the manage of the java.nio.channels.FileChannel to generate several files
Thanks a lot.Ok Thats is the final code:
This program divide a file.txt in "n" files.txt's according of the block's that the file.txt contain and catch the name of the second tokent to name the new file.txt

This is the example of the file with 2 blocks

Can anyone please let me know how do I split PDF Files by bookmark using Java Script.
I am making a Visual Basic utility to read the bookmarks in PDF Files and split them based on the bookmarks. I am able to split the PDF Files by using Arts PDF Split Pro. However since I am already using Adobe Standard, I would like to do it with Adobe itself.
Thus, I pay license for only one software and not two.
Thanks

Script to Split PDF files on Bookmarks
I'm totally new to Java scripting. What I'm looking for is a script I can run from batch processing with professional that will look at a collection files in s directory and split ech one of them on their bookmarks into smaller files.
The bookmarks are all based on the page so it is possible to use the bookmark object's "execute" method to execute the bookmark action and pickup the page number.
I read that last part somewhere. If someone can give me a reference to a thread or just some code to get me started that would help. Thanks,
Josh5 years later... hopefully this helps someone out there.
I couldn't find much information online about this myself, but hammered away until it worked. My code is for a slightly different purpose, but you should easily be able to adjust it for your needs.

Splitting a file based on the payload field - multimapping
HI Everyone,
I have a requirement of splitting a file based on the field .
e.g When I am a file as :
row1 David US
row2 Cindra US
row3 Peeru CA
row4 Jay CA
Then, I have to split the file into two files, one file with the US rows and another file with the CA rows.
There can be many countries in the input file, so number of target files need to be generated is not fixed.
I have gone through the below links :
/people/jin.shin/blog/2006/02/07/multi-mapping-without-bpm--yes-it146s-possible ( in the blog we know that there are two receivers but in my case I dont know that )
https://bond.newellco.com/irj/scn/,DanaInfo=www.sdn.sap.com,SSL+thread?messageID=6449801#6449801
( Everyone is providing JAVA mapping as a solution....)
Is Java mapping the only option to resolve the problem case I have ?
Thx
PEERU INHi Peeru,
I don't have access to the any FTP or file server of XI to check the file adapter as i am travelling right now(I am 100% sure that the file adapter splitting will work as i have done this for one of my requirement).
Coming to your requirement:
I wrote an java map which will read the XML file and create the multiple recordset based on number of different country exists in the file, then i am printing the final structure in an multi mapping layout (please see the attached input file Country.xml and out put file which the java map generated Final.XML) if we do this i think the file adapter will create the different files based on the number of recordset we have as you can see the output file is generated with the 3 recordset (<Country>) tag each country tag has its own records, now if i give the filename in variable substuition pointing to region then i think i should get 3 files with names
us.xml
us01.xml
us02.xml
i think by using the multi mapping i can generate 3 files and by using the variable substution i can give the 3 different names from the payload of each file and also can add the timestamp for each of the file, again i didn't have access to the file adapter in the project i am working on so i couldn't verify in XI server, but if you still looking for solution then let me know i will give the map details.

A how-To guide about splitting import files exists?
Hi All,
in his Webinar https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/409e4529-adbc-2a10-4d9b-e8fade570414

Can anybody tell me where to find this guide?

Splitting 1GB Files // Problem with FileStream class
Hi, in my Air (2 beta) app i'm splitting large files to upload them in smaller chunks.
Everything works fine, until i choose files larger than 1GB?
This might be the Problem:
var newFile:File = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath(filename);
trace(newFile.size);
// 8632723886 (About 8GB correct file size)
BUT if i use the FileStream Class instead:
var stream:FileStream = new FileStream();
stream.open(new File(filename), FileMode.READ);
trace(stream.bytesAvailable)
// 42789294 ("wrong" file size?)
If i run the same code with files smaller than 1GB stream.bytesAvailable returns the same result as newFile.size.
Is there a limitation in the FileStream class or is my code wrong?
Thanks!use asynchronous file handling method. i.e use (filestream object).openAsync(file,filemode.read). here is the implementation :
private var fileCounter:int = 0;
private var bytesLoaded:int = 0;
private var filePath:String = "D:\\folder\\";
private var fileName:String = "huge_file";
private var fileExtension:String = ".mkv";
private var file:File = new File(filePath+fileName+fileExtension);
//split size = 1 GB
private var splitSize:int = 1024*1024*1024;
private var fs:FileStream = new FileStream();
private var newfs:FileStream = new FileStream();
private var byteArray:ByteArray = new ByteArray();
private function init():void{
fs.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,onFsComplete);
fs.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,onFsProgress);
newfs.open(new File(filePath+fileName+fileCounter+fileExtension),FileMode.WRITE);
fs.openAsync(new File(filePath+fileName+fileExtension),FileMode.READ);
private function onFsComplete(e:Event=null):void{
fs.readBytes(byteArray,0,fs.bytesAvailable);
newfs.writeBytes(byteArray,0,Math.min(splitSize-bytesLoaded,fs.bytesAvailable));
for(var i:int = 0; i < byteArray.length; i+=splitSize){
newfs.close();
newfs.open(new File(filePath+fileName+fileCounter+fileExtension),FileMode.WRITE);
newfs.writeBytes(byteArray,i,Math.min(splitSize,byteArray.length-i));
fileCounter++;
trace("Part " + fileCounter + " Complete");
private function onFsProgress(e:ProgressEvent):void{
if((bytesLoaded+fs.bytesAvailable)==file.size){
onFsComplete();
else if((bytesLoaded + fs.bytesAvailable)>=splitSize){
fs.readBytes(byteArray,0,splitSize-bytesLoaded);
newfs.writeBytes(byteArray,0,byteArray.length);
newfs.close();
bytesLoaded = fs.bytesAvailable;
fs.readBytes(byteArray,0,bytesLoaded);
fileCounter++;
newfs.open(new File(filePath+fileName+fileCounter+fileExtension),FileMode.WRITE);
newfs.writeBytes(byteArray,0,byteArray.length);
byteArray.clear();
trace("Part " + fileCounter + " Complete");
else{
bytesLoaded+=fs.bytesAvailable;
fs.readBytes(byteArray,0,fs.bytesAvailable);
newfs.writeBytes(byteArray,0,byteArray.length);
byteArray.clear();

How do you split stereo files in Logic? Anyone? Whenever I import a stereo file, it comes as one interleaved track. I change the track to accept stereo files (at the bottom of the fader in the lower left hand corner) and even when I double-click on the file, I see two channels, yet I can't alter them. Is there a way to fix this? Please help. Thanks.
Josh
G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)How do you split stereo files in Logic?
I see two channels, yet I can't alter them. Is there a way to fix this?
Is your question: "How do I split a stereo interleaved file into two mono files with Logic?" or is your question "How do I use split stereo (dual-mono) files in Logic?"
For the first, there are options in the audio window to convert and split files.
If it's the second, then you can turn "Universal Track mode" OFF in your audio preferences - now all channels are mono and stereo files are controlled by two mono faders.
However, working in this mode is kinda ugly and has some disadvantages, but if you prefer it, fair enough.
Finally, if you just want to be able to process left and right channels of a stereo file independently, you can always route to a couple of busses and pan left or right to get the two halves, or duplicate your stereo track and select "Left channel only" and "Right channel only" by click holding on the O-OO stereo channel selector.
Does that help? -
Splitting multichannel files (5 or more channels) to mono
So why doens't logic allow me to import and split out multichannel AIFFs? I can create them with max/msp or "sound studio" a freeware app, but then I can't edit them since logic only works with stereo or mono. I am also having a hard time finding a utility that does this for me offline. Any suggestions? I do notice that Nuendo can handle and split multichannel files.
one program that does do this is
Sample Manager
http://www.audiofile-engineering.com/sample_manager.php
This is a handy app. Having multiple channels interleaved is so handy, and it's been a part of the aiff format for years. But why doesn't any app take advantage of this? or at least support this aspect of the format? Anyways, the trial period s 15 days for this program. enough to convert my files. if i like it i may buy it, it think it is around $70. If anyone knows of a freeware app that does the same thing, please tell -
Splitting XML Files without namespaces
Hello,
I have a file that looks similar to this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<File>
<Header>
<Location>Phoenix</Location>
<Date>052214</Date>
</Header>
<Bill></Bill>
<Trailer>
<Total>1076</Total>
</Trailer>
</File>
What I would like to do is split the file (<Bill> is repeating) and I understand I should be able to do this with an envelope schema. I've done some research and every example I'm coming across happens to have a namespace in the sample schema.
How can I accomplish the same thing without the namespace?
Do I need to add the namespace using the ESB Toolkit, and if so, am I supposed to add a namespace to the repeating element? I looked into that solution and couldn't understand how to add a namespace to the Bill element, only the root. Unfortunately I trashed
that approach and went with an orchestration. While that is working, it just doesn't seem right if I can accomplish this task in the receive stage.
Any help/encouragement would be appreciated.The problem is that if you split the message on an element that has no namespace, you will need a Schema without namespace (in your case with a root element of "Bill" and no namespace).
Having Schemas without namespaces in BizTalk is bad practice and should, in general and if possible, be avoided.
So what I would do is create a custom Pipeline Component that (either using XDocument, XMLDocument or Regular Expression) appends a namespace to all "Bill" elements and also a namespace to the Root.
Apply the Component in the Decode Stage on your Receive Pipeline so that it is applied BEFORE the disassemble stage, and then create your "Bill" Schema with the newly appended Namespace, and also Apply the Batch namespace to your Envelope Schema.
An Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<b:File xmlns:b="http://Batch">
<Header>
<Location>Phoenix</Location>
<Date>052214</Date>
</Header>
<c:Bill xmlns:c="http://namespace"></c:Bill>
<c:Bill xmlns:c="http://namespace"></c:Bill>
<c:Bill xmlns:c="http://namespace"></c:Bill>
<c:Bill xmlns:c="http://namespace"></c:Bill>
