Log files can get very large in size making them very hard to work with. There are many ways to split log files, with applications or split command, but I found this Powershell script that did this task and give you some option in the process :
$SourceFile = "C:\path\to\large.log"
$MaxSize = 100MB
$Prefix = "smalllog"
$Counter = 1
$Reader = New-Object System.IO.StreamReader($SourceFile)
$OutputFile = New-Object System.IO.FileStream("$Prefix$Counter.log", 'Create', 'Write', 'ReadWrite')
$Buffer = New-Object byte[] 1024
do {
$BytesRead = $Reader.BaseStream.Read($Buffer, 0, $Buffer.Length)
if ($BytesRead -gt 0) {
$OutputFile.Write($Buffer, 0, $BytesRead)
if ($OutputFile.Length -gt $MaxSize) {
$OutputFile.Close()
$Counter++
$OutputFile = New-Object System.IO.FileStream("$Prefix$Counter.log", 'Create', 'Write', 'ReadWrite')
}
}
} while ($BytesRead -gt 0)
$Reader.Close()
$OutputFile.Close()
