File_Split v1.0

The DE Quick Start tutorial provides an introduction to basic DE functionality and navigation.

Please work through the documentation and add your comments on the bottom of this page, or email comments to support@cyverse.org.

Rationale and background:

Splitting a large file into a number of small lines based on line number is essential for many applications or analysis. This is especially useful if you have a long list of id's and then you want to use them parallelly using HT Analysis Path List file.

Pre-Requisites:

A CyVerse account (Register for a CyVerse account at https://user.cyverse.org).

An up-to-date Java-enabled web browser. (Firefox recommended. If you wish to work with your own large datasets and upload them using iCommands, Chrome is not suitable due to its issues in utilizing 64-bit Java.)

Mandatory arguments

Inputs
1. Input File: Path to the input file that contains the list of id's
2. Number of lines per file: How many lines that you want to split the input file into. The number of output files corresponds tonumberof lines that you want to split into
3. File_prefix: Prefix of the file that gets created (Default is "x")
Outputs
1. Output folder: Name of the output folder (Default is "Output")
