China DOS Union

I have several .txt text files here, and each one is very large, about 108MB. When I changed its extension to .xls, it actually told me it couldn't be fully loaded, because it exceeded 65,536 lines; when I changed it to .doc, it was even more outrageous — it actually showed more than 30,000 pages, and also said it exceeded Word's maximum page count!
Under DOS, is there any way to split one .txt into several .txt files?

So someone had already done this before. I'll go back and try it first, then study it some more.

Actually, many of the questions being asked now;
had already been solved before
and can all be found by searching;

I used 9527's program, but it didn't work:
@echo off&setlocal
for /f "tokens=1*" %%a in (fi.txt) do call :pp "%%a" "%%b"
goto :eof
:pp
if /i %1 equ "**BEGIN" (
>>%~2.txt echo %~1 %~2&set a=%~2.txt
) else (
>>%a% echo %~1 %~2
)
goto :eof
Maybe it isn't suitable for extra-long text files

Using 无奈何's program, it works:
@echo off
setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
for /f "delims=" %%i in (spil.txt) do (
set tmp=%%i
if "!tmp:~0,7!" == "**BEGIN" (
set file=!tmp:*BEGIN =!
echo %%i>!file!
) else (
echo %%i>>!file!
)
)
I inserted things like **BEGIN FILE1 **END from the original text into the text file, and in total it needs to be split into 3 text files.
But after running for more than 30 minutes, the first text file to be split still wasn't finished (that is, the first END still hadn't appeared), so I stopped it. Then I changed this unfinished first text file to XLS, and it still said the line count was too large and it couldn't be fully loaded.
Looks like it has to be split into 40 text files, but manually adding **BEGIN FILE1 **END and so on is really troublesome. Just opening that 108MB text file alone takes several minutes. Is there any way!!

Big sweat... such a huge text file, that's rare indeed!

Simply unbelievable — that's 54 million characters. That's as much as 54 copies of Dream of the Red Chamber. What is it, anyway? I'm curious...
