This little application is used to split and join files of any type and size.

You can get HJSplit here:

It will require the Kylix library which you can get here:

You will need to add this to you .bashrc and/or .bash_profile

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/kylix3

I use the Java version, runs fine without editing your path as long as you have a JRE installed. Fedora appears to be offering a command line version of it (lxrun or something like that).

NIce, I failed to scroll down lower to see the Java variant.....DOH!! Thanks for pointing it out.

The last time I encountered a file like this ( "Please join with HJSplit"), albeit some time ago, I didn't need anything.
Linux already had the tool. No need for Java, downloads or anything
Done

Great, learning something new all the time.

Yeah, cat is really useful. Sometimes I get files that are split up into rar archives. Every so often unrar will fail to extract them (because of incomplete multi-part support) but cat has always provided a way out. Still, I like HJSplit, clicking a few buttons is still a lot faster than typing a slew of file names into a terminal.

and use split to split files cat is the best for ascii and binary. Most apps likely use its source.

Isn't this advertising ... and useless as well. What's wrong with 'split' and 'cat', guess you would have no idea what I'm talking about anyway.

What is wrong with them? They are an utter waste of my time. I recently had to join seven parts together. By the time I had typed them all onto the command line or into a script, I could have extracted ten such sets using a GUI.

I hope you're kidding ...

Clearly you have never seen HJSplit. You just select the first part and you click on "join", that's it. Now tell me how much faster the command line will be if, as I said, you have to join seven parts, each of which has a title of about 40 characters...Sure, you can use tab completion to speed things up, but still.

cat "sfadhjhksaf"* >big.avi

Interesting but I still don't you see how that could be faster? At best it will be just as fast, which makes it simply a matter of personal taste.
Clearly another of those issues that can be argues endlessly...

NO........and take you pissy attitude elsewhere FFS.

you people are silly, that's all I have to say, to download a proprietary (probably adware) program to replace what is already available on your system right now in an open-source form

Heck I could even write myself a small script usable through the 'send to' option on many file browsers that will do the same thing even faster than your GUI, not to mention that by the time the GUI pops up I would have used cat from the command line to do the same.

Why do you even use Linux ? Why waste the time to install it ? Use Window$ and all their BS, don't think you can escape it by using Linux with proprietary programs. But go right ahead, I ain't stopping you.

No problem, this is my last post in this thread, but I hope it gets closed. I don't see how this is not advertisement. Starting a thread solely about a proprietary product ... not advertisement at all.
