Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$fac = New-Object Chilkat.FileAccess

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

$partPrefix = "hamlet"
$partExtension = "part"
$maxChunkSize = 50000
$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 -eq $true) {
    $("Success.")
}
else {
    $($fac.LastErrorText)
