Feature request: text mode for Split File

[alancorey]

How about a checkbox for text mode and being able to enter a number of lines instead of bytes in the file split dialog?

Doesn't seem too hard to do and I was a little surprised that it wasn't already there. I guess it could have issues with DOS/Unix/Mac line ends, but it isn't that hard to make it look for any of them.

I have a use (this morning) for splitting a tab-delimited file of about 1500 lines into chunks of 20 lines or so, for something I"m developing. Each 20 line chunk would just be a test, but I can't use any of them more than once.

Interesting idea. Currently the split function doesn't work on a line by lane basis, additional parsing would be necessary.
