split files greater than 500kb at particular directory

Question

I want to split files which are >500kb. For this first I use find to list all such files find . -maxdepth 1 -name '*.log' -size +500k that returns "./filename" and then I write another command to split file according to my requirement split -b 500k -d -a 4 filename filename. here filename is the output of first command. Now can someone help me to combine both of them such that the output of first is input of second command.

Answer 1

How about a one liner?

find .  -maxdepth 1 -name '*'  -size +500k -exec 'split' '-b' '500k' '-d' '-a' '4' '{}' '{}' ';'

Answer 2

You can use a process substitution for this:

while IFS= read file
do
   split -b 500k -d -a  4 "$file" "$file"
done < <(find . -maxdepth 1 -name '*.log' -size +500k)

That is: the while loop gets fed by the find output.
