Re: Split text file into multiple files, delete input file, move split files to another directory
A 100MB file would contain roughly 2 million keywords/phrases. Usually, the file is alot smaller at around 30MB though.
A keyword or phrase can be upto about 100 characters which is inclusive of spaces.
