Loek Jehee has released a free AppleScript Studio project which enables the easy combining (or splitting) of files. Typically, you'll run into multiple-part files if you've downloaded a large binary file from a newsgroup. Using Split&Concat, you can easily recombine the parts into one complete file.

Information Gathering
When downloading this 'application' the site appears to be gathering information about your system, no real problem but it would be nice if it told us it was doing this BEFORE it does!
Information Gathering
Sorry, that is true. This is caused by the NedStat counter that I placed on the web page just to obtain statistics on how many people (and from which country, using which system etc.) have downloaded my program. Please be sure that I will not use in any way any information that I obtained through this counter and that this information will only be used for my private review and not made available to anyone else. In general I share your concerns about internet privacy.
50% useless app
There is no reason why anyone would need the concat half of this app. This is exactly the sort of function where the command line rules. For example, let's say you have a bunch of files like file.001 file.002 etc. Just go to the command line and input
cat file* > newfileNote that you must pick a new file name, if you do something stupid like cat file* > filethen you get stuck in a recursive loop, the file will append itself to itself and grow until all disk space is exhausted, then cat will die. I am sure there is an equally efficient method for splitting files via the command line, but I never looked for it, I have never done this sort of task. And BTW, for all you people that don't like secret web-tracking (which AFAIK is illegal in England and some other European countries) you can download the file using Anonymizer at this URL: http://anon.free.anonymizer.com/http://www.xs4all.nl/~loekjehe/Split&Concat/SplitandConcat.dmg.sit
Split _large_ files ?
Does anybody know a handy tool to split really large files (>2GB)? Until now I didn't find a program that does this job on the Mac. Even DropSegment won't do...
Bugs fixed. File sizes over 2 Gig now supported
There have been 800 people that downloaded this utility within 4 days, so it seems that there are people who don't think it is useless :-) I fixed several bugs and now the program is in version 1.0b4. Also, very large file sizes are now supported and there is better error checking.
Bugs fixed. File sizes over 2 Gig now supported
The utility now works fine for me and it is AFAIK the only tool for Mac OS X to split large files over 2 GB. Very fine little proggy which is built for only _one_ job and does it well... |
