I have a 5 million plus line plain text file. Windows Notepad can't do anything and gets stuck when double clicking the file. Notepad++ is able to open the file though, even with 5M lines.
I want to split the file into 10 single text files – i.e. the first 50K lines would be in an individual file, and so the next and next.
The problem is that when I Ctrl+G and go to the 50kth line, I have to hold shift, pressing the up arrow until the first 50k lines are selected. It takes several minutes. Is there any easier way to split up the files?

Shift-control-home will highlight from the current position to the top of the file.
