    split file

    Good day,

    I need help from you.

    I have to split and create output files by every 30.000 recordings.
    Example ,

    Input file has 150.000 (transaction.txt) recordings of bank accounts transactions.
    The C code has to split this file and create output files by 30.000 records each from input file.
    (transaction1.txt, transaction2.txt, transaction3.txt and etc.).The transaction.txt (150.000 recordings) has to be split on many files with 30.000 recordings.
    So , does anybody know how to do this?
    How C code will look like for this operation?

    Thank you very much.

    what have you done so far? use fopen if you want to open the file, put the content into a buffer, and save it per 30000 byte using loop....

    that's if you want the hint...

    You could just open the input and output files, and write 30,000 (or is that 30?) "recordings" to the output file. Then just close the output file and open the next one. Keep doing this until there's no more data in the input file.

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
