This is a Bash script that splits a JSON file into multiple smaller JSON files based on the specified number of records per file.
- Bash should be installed on your system.
- Clone or download the repository.
- Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where the script is located.
- Run the script by executing the following command:
bash json_splitter.sh <input_file> <records_per_file>Replace<input_file>with the path to your JSON file and<records_per_file>with the desired number of records per output file.
Note: Make sure you have write permissions in the directory where the script is located.
Suppose you have a JSON file named data.json with 1000 records, and you want to split it into files with 100 records each. You can run the script with the following command:
bash json_splitter.sh data.json 100
This will split the data.json file into 10 output files, each containing 100 records.
The script will create multiple output files in the same directory as the input file. The files will be named in the format <input_file_prefix>XXX.json, where XXX represents a three-digit sequential number starting from 000.
