Help with automator

hi I am a new to using Mac. I have a little bit of understandng of automator workflows.

I have 25 text files (containing DNA sequence of A, T, G or C or N) that range in 80 mb to 2 mb size.

Each text file has lines with no paragraphs, no spaces, no special characters.

The following is what I would for automator to do.

1) Open the file with text edit, copy lines 1 - 10,000 and then paste that into a new text file (generated by automator itself) save the file with with file name ending 1 - 10000.

2) Do the same to the next 10,001 - 20,000 and so on until the end of the sequence.

Can someone please help me achieve this humongous task using automator?

Thanks much ahead of time for all your responses.

Best,
CF
