Is it possible to take a single text file in EmEditor and break it into parts, and save each part as a separate text file? e.g. suppose I had a text file with the following contents: AXBCDXE and I wanted to split the file into three parts based on "X" so the first file would just contain "A", the second would contain "BCD" and the third would contain "E". Perhaps optionally the delimiter itself could be included at the beginning or end of each separate file. Thoughts?
