I have json file exported from mongodb which looks like:
{"_id":"99919","city":"THORNE BAY"}
{"_id":"99921","city":"CRAIG"}
{"_id":"99922","city":"HYDABURG"}
{"_id":"99923","city":"HYDER"}
there are about 30000 lines, I want to split each line into it's own .json file. (I'm trying to transfer my data onto couchbase cluster)
I tried doing this:
cat cities.json | jq -c -M '.' | \
while read line; do echo $line > .chunks/cities_$(date +%s%N).json; done
but I found that it seems to drop loads of line and the output of running this command only gave me 50 odd files when I was expecting 30000 odd!!
Is there a logical way to make this not drop any data using anything that would suite?
