FileManipulator

FileManipulator can split a text formatted file into multiple files, and recover the original file by merging the splitted files.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'file_manipulator'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install file_manipulator

Rails

Run the following Rails' generate command which will generate customizable initializer config/initializers/file_manipulator.rb.

$ rails generate file_manipulator:install
      create  config/initializers/file_manipulator.rb

Usage

require 'file_manipulator'

FileManipulator.configure do |config|
  config.prefix = 'file_manipulator'
  config.file_name = 'Gemfile'
  config.split_files_directory = 'tmp'
  config.merged_file_directory = 'tmp'
  config.size = 10
end

FileManipulator.split

Dir.entries('tmp')
#=> [".", "..", "file_manipulator_Gemfile_0000", "file_manipulator_Gemfile_0001", "file_manipulator_Gemfile_0002", "file_manipulator_Gemfile_0003"]
