SPLIT A TEXT FILE TO A SPECIFIED NO. OF SUBFILES

Hi Splash Press,

Few points:
(i don't intend to criticize your efforts, but just putting down my thoughts)

1. why are u writing this code when there are many file splitter readily available on net, even for free :)

2. as you have used Stream classes (instead of Reader/Writer) this code should work for binary files as well, right?

3. i couldn't understand ur logic inside "if (lsize != 0)". this condition is at 2 places.

4. generally, either the number of parts is specified (noFile) or the size of each part (lsize). the other value is calculated based on the size of source file. don't know why u r taking noFile and lsize separately.

(there are few more points, but i'll stop here :P :D)

REFACTORING

 What is Refactoring? A software is built initially to serve a purpose, or address a need. But there is always a need for enhancement, fixin...
