I have the following problem.
I need to use split command to split files. Each should be cca 700 lines but i don't know how to implement it in the scripts because each time the original file will be various sizes.

I suggest you learn sed. sed will allow you to split files vary easily.

For example:

$ sed "700q" textfile > first700lines.txt

$ sed "1,700d; 1400q" textfile > next700lines.txt
