I knew that I could do it manually. But the file had more than 30k lines, which would mean that I had to copy, create and paste more than fifteen times to split the text file into a compatible format.

That was not very promising. Simple Text Splitter to the rescue. The portable application takes a text file and splits it into chunks defined by the user. All I had to do was to load the text file into the application interface, specify the number of chunks (in my case 17) and the output folder before hitting the start button. The file has been reviewed earlier here at Ghacks, and has been updated by the developer yesterday.

Text files can be dragged and dropped into the program window, or added via the file browser after clicking on the Open Text button in the interface. The contents of the text file are displayed in the program window, with options to edit it right there. It is for instance possible to remove lines from the file.

There are three naming options. The newly split text files are either named part+index, which is the default value, only index (which is just a number beginning at 1) or original file name + part + index which is the most complex but also the most describing naming template.

The process takes little time and the split text files are then available in the selected output folder.

Simple Text Splitter Download And Compatibility

Simple Text Splitter is a portable open source program for the Windows operating system. It tested fine on a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit test system, and should run on most other Windows editions and versions as well. The program can be downloaded directly from the developer website over at Sourceforge.

Disabling sessions from Notepad++ should not have any impact on other software features like the tabbed interface. The option to disable sessions in Notepad++ can be found in the options of the software program.

A user opening Notepad++ can open the program’s options by selecting Settings from the main menu and Preferences from the submenu. The Preferences window is opening which is displaying several tabs and lots of options.

Locate the Misc tab of the Preferences menu and uncheck the “Remember the current session for next launch” box to disable the session feature in Notepad++.The user will only see the current document the next time Notepad++ is opened. New documents are still added in tabs during a session but once Notepad++ gets closed the information are erased.
