I just completed splitting a number of huge text files (1 to 1.75 Gb). It took 2.5 mins to split the largest file into 4 files each with 2 million lines! 2 mil lines of my text file contents roughly translates to 500 Mb. It is still big for Notepad to open. But, MS Access can handle this easily. I like the UI too besides the speed of the Gplit. Thank you very much! This works wonderfully!

Thank you very much!

Sure it might work ok for smaller files(like from the picture 17 MB) but when you start trying to use it to split files of a 600 MB nature in this way it just doesn't work.

Not THAT large but still ~480000 lines. :) I ended up using Jet OLE connection and hooked it into AnySQL Maestro. Treating text file as SQL database felt weird at first but worked surprisingly well.
