Is there a tool to split large text file (9Gb) into smaller files so that I can open it and look through?
UTorrent Beta free download torrent Threading a variety of software works by splitting the files into several parts and then transfer them to your computer at the same time. But this decision is not always possible, depending on what your Internet connection is used for etc. Applicable, the software can automatically update any URL download.
This laser beam is key to splitting the atom. It works because atoms have a spin that can go in two directions. Depending on the direction, the atom can be moved to the right or the left by the laser like on a conveyor. Key is that the atom's spin can be in both directions simultaneously. A team of scientists was able to 'split' an atom into its two possible spin states, up and down, and measure the difference between them even after the atom resumed the properties of a single state.

Anything usable from command line that comes with Windows (XP)?
Or what's the best way to split it? Can I use 7z to create separate volumes and then unzip one of them separately? Will it be readable or does it need all the other parts to unzip into the big file again?
Update
I put together quick 48 lines python script that split the large file into 0.5GB files which are easy to open even in vim. I've just needed to look through data towards the last part of the log (yes it is a log file). Each record is split across multiple lines so grep would not do.

There is a freeware Windows file splitter called HJSplit
Available here. The website claims it can split files of any type and size, but 9GB is a big file.

The GNU Core Utils package (available here for windows) includes the Split utility. It works well for me :-)
The --help documentation is as follows:
For example, to split input.txt into 100Mb chunks, only splitting at the ends of lines,
will give you output files named xaa, xab, xac, etc.

Another is GSplit - according to their site it can split very large files (larger than 4Gb <-- since they crossed the 4Gb limit, I guess they can do 9 Gb as well).
But, another thing - you say you want to split it into smaller parts so you can open it up and look at it. That sounds like a very big perhaps log file.
In any case, for opening large text files, may I recommend EmEditor - they claim themselves it can open very large files (up to cca. 250 Gb), and I've used it in the past for files up to 2 Gb. But in any case, I think it may be a better solution than splitting.

Check out Large Text File Viewer, it's great for things like this. Most archivers and splitters will separate the file into pieces which cannot be used to read each piece of data independently and properly, you need to extract them all to get the file back.

One can use 7-Zip to create segments of text file in certain size (e.g. 100 MB segments out of 1.5 GB log file).
The Key options are - Use 'Store' as opposed to 'Compress'- Use 'Split to volumes'

You can use 7zip itself to split the files. (You can save as a .zip or .7z format.) When you go to create the archive there is an option called 'Split volume, bytes'. Just select how large you want the chunks.
And yes, you can unzip them individually if you wish.

There's an online tool that splits text files if anyone is looking to split files quickly. http://www.textfilesplitter.com.
Works great for me. And splits files respecting lines which is what I was looking for. It also says it's all HTML5 client side so it's safe to use. I'm not sure how big it can go but I think it depends on your machine's ram.
