Summary: Review Request: lxsplit - File split / merge utility https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=448249 ------- Additional Comments From sundaram@xxxxxxxxxx 2008-05-27 02:46 EST ------- >From upstream: --- Short answer: it actually doesn't. Long answer: lxsplit isn't as flexible and as weird for the split file name and suffix usage as split is, it always appends .001 (up to .999) to the filename and expects the same pattern when joining files: easier for users and it is the same behaviour for hjsplit. It also makes sure that no files are missing between *.001 and the last one when joining, and only strips the .<number> from the input file for the output filename. Less cmdline arguments. This util is for people who don't know about split / cat and only want to do a quick large file splitting / joining. And yes, if it want a gui app, which I intend to do, it would be more useful. --- My important consideration was a compatible equivalent to hjsplit which is a popular utility in Windows. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
