This is a sub-program for splitting large files into lots of small ones. Splitter needs to know:
End of Text Separator The symbol which will act as an end-of-text separator: eg. [FF] or <end of story> or </Text> or !# or [FF*] or [FF?????] Restrictions:
Splitter will create a new file every time it encounters the end-of-text marker you've specified.
Destination Folder Where you want the small files to be copied to. (You'll need write permission to access it if on a network.)
Required sizes The minimum and maximum number of lines that your small files can have (default = 2 and 30,000). Only files within these limits will be saved. This feature is useful for extracting files from very large CD-ROM files. The default of 2 is to avoid getting little text files e.g. from newspaper News in Brief stories, but if you do want small texts, then set this to 1. A "line" means from one <Enter> to the next.
Bracket first line Whether or not you want the first line of each new text file to be bracketed inside < > marks. This is because often the first line after your end-of-text symbol will contain some kind of header. If you don't want it to insert < and > around the line, leave the checkbox un-checked.
Title Line If you know which line of your texts always contains the title for the sub-textin question, set this counter to that number, otherwise leave it at 0.
