# split
> Split a file into pieces.
- Split a file, each split having 10 lines (except the last split):
`split -l {{10}} {{filename}}`
- Split a file by a regular expression. The matching line will be the first line of the next output file:
`split -p {{regular expression}} {{filename}}`
- Split a file with 512 bytes in each split (except the last split; use 512k for kilobytes and 512m for megabytes):
`split -b {{512}} {{filename}}`
