I'm looking for an windows command line utility that can split files
by number of line. Most of them are by bytes... can anyone
recommend ? Thanks.

You could write your own or try this:

<http://www.gdgsoft.com/gsplit/>

If you tell me what you want to do, I can do it for you and send
you by email. Send me a sample file and tell me how many lines in
each file and I will do it for you. Make sure the files are text
files not binary files because lines only apply to text files.

Your spec is a little vague but perhaps this batch file will ding the way
you want it to dong:
@echo off
set sName=d:\My Files\My Text File.txt
set iLines=30
echo.
if not exist "%sName%" (
echo File "%sName%" not found
goto :eof
)
set Scr="%temp%\TempVBS.vbs"
set VB=echo^>^>%Scr%
cd 1>nul 2>%Scr%
%VB% Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
%VB% Set oFile = oFSO.OpenTextFile("%sName%")
%VB% aFile = Split(oFile.ReadAll, VbCrLf)
%VB% oFile.Close
%VB% Set oOut1 = oFSO.CreateTextFile("%sName%" ^& ".1",True)
%VB% Set oOut2 = oFSO.CreateTextFile("%sName%" ^& ".2",True)
%VB% if %iLines% ^> ubound(aFile) then iLines = UBound(aFile)+1
%VB% For i = 0 To %iLines%-1
%VB% oOut1.WriteLine aFile(i)
%VB% Next
%VB% oOut1.Close
%VB% If UBound(aFile) ^>= %iLines% Then
%VB% For i = %iLines% To UBound(aFile)
%VB% oOut2.WriteLine aFile(i)
%VB% Next
%VB% End If
%VB% oOut2.Close
cscript //nologo %Scr%
rem del %Scr%
echo Data stored in "%sName%.1" and "%sName%.2"

There are Windows ports of the unix head, tail, and split utilities.
Some combination of those could probably be scripted to do what you
want.

Interesting. When I tested this, I got 2 files. 1st one with first n
lines. The 2nd one has the rest of the lines (> n lines insde).

Unix has this split command. Can't find the windows equivalent.

This is exactly the way I wrote it. As I said, your spec was somewhat vague
and allowed several interpretations.

Here's two:

http://openetwork.com/berk.html

http://www.softwareonline.org/winxs42.html

I've seen others. It often comes in a bundle with a bunch of other unix
utilities.

Thanks. I think the split from http://openetwork.com/berk.html is good
for me.

Thanks everybody !
