PowerShell Split File
function Split-File
{
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Splits a file into multiple parts
.DESCRIPTION
Splits a file into smaller parts. The maximum size of the part files can be specified. The number of parts required is calculated.
.EXAMPLE
Split-File -Path 'c:\test.zip' -PartSizeBytes 2.5MB
Splits the file c:\test.zip in as many parts as necessary. Each part file is no larger than 2.5MB
.EXAMPLE
Split-File -Path 'c:\test.zip' -PartSizeBytes 2.5MB -AddSelfExtractor
Splits the file c:\test.zip in as many parts as necessary. Each part file is no larger than 2.5MB
Adds a powershell script that joins the parts when run, and adds a shortcut file to
run the PowerShell extractor script on double-click, essentially adding a self-extractor
