Some of these examples are genuinely hilarious -- I honestly laughed aloud at the example file given for csplit (https://blog.robertelder.org/intro-to-csplit-command/), one command I don't routinely use but now shall certainly do so more...


ha ha, i laughed at that one too, the "procrastinate on work until the last day" example.

csplit stand for context split, iirc.

there is also the split command. it splits on the basis of number of lines, which can be specified in various ways.

didn't know about the '--filter' flag earlier. it allows you to filter each output file through some other command. useful.

Thank you Robert!
