JavaScript

var success = false;

var fac = new CkFileAccess();

// Any type of file may be split.  It doesn't matter if it's
// a binary file or a text file.
var fileToSplit = "qa_data/hamlet.xml";

var partPrefix = "hamlet";
var partExtension = "part";
var maxChunkSize = 50000;
var destDirPath = "qa_output";

// Splits hamlet.xml into hamlet1.part, hamlet2.part, ...
// Output files are written to the current working directory.
// Each chunk will be 50000 bytes except for the last which
// will be the remainder.
success = fac.SplitFile(fileToSplit,partPrefix,partExtension,maxChunkSize,destDirPath);

if (success == true) {
    console.log("Success.");
}
else {
    console.log(fac.LastErrorText);
}
