                          I have a huge file with the following pattern:

    ABC
    line 1
    line 2
    line 3
    ABC
    line 1
    line 2
    ABC
    line1
    ABC
    line 1
    line 3

Using csplit tool I'm able to split the file above according to /ABC/ pattern into 4 subfiles:

    csplit -z input.txt /ABC/ {*}

I wonder how to manually specify the number of desired output files.
