I'm on a Linux terminal and struggling to split a large text file into several smaller files. I'm trying with csplit, but csplit demands that the delimiter pattern is passed as a REGEXP. The static delimiter pattern is , lorum ipsum. How do I write that as a REGEXP? After reading a bit, I would expect /'^, lorum ipsum$'/ to work, but it does not. Could anyone help me with the correct syntax?

I will when I can! I haven't had access to a computer since I posted the question. – Magnus Apr 12 '17 at 17:09

You should use /', lorum ipsum'/, ^ and $ is start and end of the line accordingly, which is not needed in your case.
