Hi there Clark, 

I don't think there are some available software's for you to use so far but this issue can be solved with no software needed, all you need to do is learn some basic Linux commands like split.

As a Linux expert you need to follow these instructions to get it sorted :

Open Terminal > CD /path/to/file (Go to the path of your CSV file) > split -l 400 file.csv newfile.csv

To check your new file line count do these commands :

WC – l < newfile.csv

I hope you fix your problem with this.

Hello!

If you want to split some file on your mac, you can easily download a software from the following link: File Splitter for Mac

You can use it to split csv or large text files. You have a 5 days trial period and after that, if you are pleased with it`s features, you can buy it or download it from another site.

I hope it helps! Good luck!
