Question about auto splitting large text file

thekha · 05-16-2016, 11:33 PM

Hi everyone
i have a large text file about 20mb in html format with 2672 chapters
it has been marked with _begin_of_chapter_ and _end_of_chapter_
how can i split this file into smaller files?
TIA

That is a lot of chapters... Most creators put each chapter into a separate file, but this will lead to a lot of files in this case.

Anyway, Sigil has a split marker, <hr class="sigil_split_marker" />, which the program will use if you press F6. With some search and replace that will work.
