Let's say we have open a file xaa.txt
and we are on a line 25.
Is there a command to split file xaa.txt
into who files (xaaa.txt
, xaab.txt
) so
that lines 0..24 will be in file xaaa.txt
and lines 25..50 will be in file xaab.txt
?
The file names for spliting can be inserted as parameters.
I will do this operation often.
You can give a range to :w
:
:1,24w xaaa.txt
:25,50w xaab.txt
Since you are on line 25, you can simplify the above to:
:1,-w xaaa.txt
:,50w xaab.txt
See :help :w
and :help :range
.
You can also build the new filenames from the current filename. Assuming you are in xaa.txt
:
:1,24w %<a.txt
:25,49w %<b.txt
See :help extension-removal
and the related :help filename-modifiers
.
