Feature request: Action to split large text files

I sometimes need to split a large text file into smaller chunks.
I know this is possible with an ETL transformation, but setting one up for this task feels too complicated.It would be helpful to have a dedicated Split File action in a package.

Ideally, I could choose the source file, output folder, and maximum number of lines or file size per chunk.

The action could then create numbered output files automatically.This would make a common task much quicker and easier.

Thank you

That is a very good suggestion, thank you.

Instead of using target folder, file is a better option,
Than you can use file number inside file name.

Example:
c:\folder\file#FILE_NO#.csv
