Split text file Leave feedback
GroupDocs.Merger allows to split text file into several resultant text files. The default behavior is to split each line into separate file.
Here are the steps on how to split text file as described:
- Initialize TextSplitOptions class with output files path format, desired TextSplitMode and line numbers;
- Instantiate Merger object with source document path or InputStream;
- Call split method and pass TextSplitOptions object to itfor saving resultant text files.
The following code sample demonstrates how to split text file to two one-page documents with 3rd, 6th lines from source file:
const inputFilePath = `c:/sample.txt`;
const merger = new groupdocs.merger.Merger(inputFilePath)
const outputPath = `c:/output/text_{0}.{1}`;
const java = require('java');
const lineArray = java.newArray('int', [3, 6]);
const textSplitOptions = new groupdocs.merger.TextSplitOptions(outputPath, lineArray);
merger.split(textSplitOptions);
This code snippet will produce:
| Text file | Line numbers |
|---|---|
| line_0 | 3 |
| line_1 | 6 |
The following code sample demonstrates how to split text file to several multi-line files starting from 3rd and ending at 6th line numbers:
const inputFilePath = `c:/sample.txt`;
const merger = new groupdocs.merger.Merger(inputFilePath)
const outputPath = `c:/output/text_{0}.{1}`;
const textSplitMode = groupdocs.merger.TextSplitMode.Interval;
const java = require('java');
const lineArray = java.newArray('int', [3, 6]);
const textSplitOptions = new groupdocs.merger.TextSplitOptions(outputPath, textSplitMode, lineArray);
merger.split(textSplitOptions);
This code snippet will produce:
| Text file | Line numbers |
|---|---|
| text_0 | 1, 2 |
| text_1 | 3, 4, 5 |
| text_2 | 6 |
