Here’s how to install and use use lxSplit, a HjSplit alternative for Linux Mint / Ubuntu:
1. To install, issue the following command at the terminal –
sudo apt-get install lxsplit
2. To split a file using lxSplit, issue the following command at the terminal –
lxsplit -s <filename> <size of split files>
For example, to split a file ‘opera_10.62-6439_i386.deb’ into 1 MB pieces, we will issue the command –
lxsplit -s opera_10.62-6439_i386.deb 1M
3. To join a file, issue the following command at the terminal –
lxsplit -j <first split filename>
For example, to join parts ‘opera_10.62-6439_i386.deb.001’ to ‘opera_10.62-6439_i386.deb.015’, we will issue the following command –
lxsplit -j opera_10.62-6439_i386.deb.001
Thank you so much. I have been trying for days to join split files, gnashing my teeth in frustration. I tried programs like mencoder and none worked. I finally found a solution thanks to you. I hope others benefit from this…. IT WORKS
