split files + rejoin them

[ssj3gohan]

Does anyone know how to get vb to split a user specified file into little 'chunks'? Also how to write a batch file from vb to join the files together or get vb to join them together? i also need a way to sense how many 'chunks' a file has been split into.

Thanks

read the file, split it into chunks based on some delimiter.
if you split it into an array use the UBound function of the array.
If you can split the text stream using
aArray = Split(objTextStream, "delimiterstring", -1, 1)
then you will know how many chunks you have

join them back again but looping through the array and adding thwe delimiter each time

For EAch aChunk In aArray
strTextstream = strTextStream & "delimiterstring" & CStr(aChunk
Next

then write the strTextStream to a new file
