Maximum number to split any file.
-
Tell us your intention. We didn't understand what you want to achieve so that we can tell you a better solution. :confused:

I provide a file to split,and provide a field where i enter the numbers in which i want to split the file. i want to validate that number if its is exceed the maximum number of splitting. so now please tell me the solution or suggestion according to this.

I hope the maximum is as randor suggested. But optimal condition may be according to your need. if application dont bother about time but memory then split into small size and large number of file say 5-10k. but if your application bother about time them split into 250-512k size files

Let me tell you the splitting of files will not be depended on the file size and the number of partitions. I mean if you have 10Mb file if u need to divide it in to 10 files then each file will have 1024kb and 128 byte extra to identify the next file link.But as you have 128 byte*10 extra bytes to store your file size willbe more once you add the size of all files.

There is no maximum, except the value that you decide. As Randor said, if you have a 1MB source file you can split into 1048576 1-byte subfiles. Maybe if you explain why you want to do this then a better suggestion could be made.

Actually, the maximum would be the number of clusters on a given partition.

The likelihood of reaching this is quite small, which is why I ignored it. I was more interested in trying to discover what he was trying to do, but I guess we'll never know.

Cluster size is very small usually, if NTFS then it can have maximum default value of 4 KB. It will be not problem to keep file size greater than 4KB. In Actual scenario, no application can create a huge amount of file, so we can ignore it as Richard said. If such a design is done then it should have a strong reason else your design is having some big problem.

I think his question was purely academic, his (her?) responses would indicate that.

I think his question was academic and since you can split a file into an infinite number of zero byte files (theoretically), the limit would be the number of clusters of the given partition.

Yes it seems to be, 5* for this guess :-D
