Text File Splitter

This Go script splits large log files into smaller parts. This project uses the Bubble Tea library for creating terminal-based UIs.

Features

• Split Large Files: The program can split large log files into smaller parts, each of a specified maximum size.
• Terminal Progress Bar: The progress of the file splitting is displayed as a progress bar in the terminal.
• Completion Message: Once the file is fully split, a completion message is shown, and the program waits for a key press before exiting.

Installation

1. Prerequisites: Make sure you have Go installed on your machine. You can download and install Go from here.

2. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/yourrepository.git
   cd yourrepository

3. Install Dependencies:

   go get github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea
   go get github.com/charmbracelet/bubbles/progress

4. Build the Program:

   go build -o file-splitter

Usage

1. Prepare a config.json File:

Create a config.json file in the root directory of the repository with the following structure:

   {
       "filePath": "path/to/input/file.log",
       "maxSizeMB": 200,
       "outputFolder": "path/to/output/directory"
   }

• filePath: The path to the input log file that needs to be split.
• maxSizeMB: The maximum size of each split file in megabytes.
• outputFolder: The path to the directory where the split files will be saved.

2. Run the Program:

    ./BigLogSplit

Example

Given a config.json file with the following content:

{
  "filePath": "C:\\Users\\yourusername\\Desktop\\LargeLogFile.log",
  "maxSizeMB": 100,
  "outputFolder": "C:\\Users\\yourusername\\Desktop\\SplitLogs"
}

The program will split LargeLogFile.log into parts of 100 MB each, saving them in the SplitLogs directory on your desktop.

Customization

You can adjust the speed of the progress bar by modifying the time.Sleep(50 * time.Millisecond) line in the splitFile function within the main.go file. Adjust the duration to control how quickly the progress bar updates.
