Running Linux. I have a directory of around 150 large CSV files; simply doing a zip -9
on them results in a monolithic file that is still too large. I would like it to simply zip them in maybe four or five zip files of 30-40 CSVs each; this way sequencing or spanned zip order won't be a problem, as each zip is independent. There must be a simple way to do this. Any suggestions?
(and yes, zip is the preferred format, if possible)
What version of zip is this?? I get
file.z01 file.z02 ... file.zip
andunzip file.zip
does not work directly (I would use zip -F to recombine them first). Note these are not "independent" as requested. – sourcejedi – 2013-06-02T10:22:49.5771
