File splitting

Post by Ixtlan »

Hello Laser Scanning peoples. I was wondering if anyone could help with this. I need to split some largeish .xyz files (generated from a point cloud) into manageable chunks for import into another platform. Does anyone know any decent software for doing this? It would need to split the file "intelligently" ie: sequentially and without breaking any data lines in the middle.
Any help would be gratefully received.

Hi Dan, I found a text splitter on-line which seems to be doing the trick. Working OK on a 9Gb file so far. Thanks for the reply. : )

Hi Joesph,

Can you give a URL for the file splitter?

Also liking the job title, is Duncan keeping you busy then?

Gone up in the world Joseph from survey monkey to scan monkey! Nice work fella.

Give my regards to everyone.

PS.
If you are a scan monkey, what on Earth is Jean Marc's job title? - Art Monkey?
