Split File into Chunks

Demonstrates how to split a file into chunks. CkPython

import chilkat

success = False

fac = chilkat.CkFileAccess()

# 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 == True):
    print("Success.")
else:
    print(fac.lastErrorText())
