I'm having difficulties to combine the linux command of "pv" (Pipe Viewer) and csplit in one single command line. Trying to make csplit to split a very big file (>10GB) with a running progress bar, the main command goes something like this:

csplit -n4 -s /tmp/somebigfile.txt "/a split pattern here/"

but if I try to use pv : pv -p /tmp/somebigfile.txt | csplit -n4 -s "/a split pattern here/", it will throws error and csplit -n4 -s (pv /tmp/somebigfile.txt) "/a split pattern here/" doesn't work either.

Any suggestions? thanks
