Here's what I need to do (sometimes): Take a text file and split it into
pieces. The split command won't work for this, because the pieces may
not be equal. For example, I may want to split an 8000 line file into
pieces 2000, 3000 and 3000 lines each. I'm willing to run the same
command multiple times with different parameters, but whatever I use
needs to be some common command expected to be there on any system. I've
looked at split, head and tail. I suspect I can do this with sed or awk,
but I'm not very familiar with those two, beyond rudimentary use. Can
anyone suggest a solution?
