Split CSV or TSV TextFile(s) into multiple text files. Each new text file contains a subset of similar number of lines from the initial file. The file names are separated by space. The valid file extensions are .csv and .tsv for comma/semicolon and tab delimited text files respectively. All other file names are ignored. All the text files in a current directory can be specified by *.csv, *.tsv, or the current directory name. The --indelim option determines the format of TextFile(s). Any file which doesn't correspond to the format indicated by --indelim option is ignored.
In this mode, --indelim, --outdelim, and -q --quote options are ignored. The format of input and output file(s) are assumed to be similar. And the text lines from input TextFile(s) are just transferred to output file(s) without any processing.
