# BigCodeBench/18
Implement a file **`solution.py`** that completes the function below. Keep the given name and signature; define `task_func` at module level.
Allowed libraries: `glob`, `subprocess`, `random`, `os`, `csv`.
```python
import subprocess
import csv
import glob
import random
import os
def task_func(file):
"""
Divide a CSV file into several smaller files and shuffle the lines in each file.
This function takes a CSV file path as input, divides it into smaller files using
the shell 'split' command, and shuffles the rows in each of the resulting files.
The output files are named with a 'split_' prefix.
Parameters:
- file (str): The path to the CSV file.
Returns:
- list: The paths to the split files. Returns an empty list if the file does not exist, is not a CSV file, or if an error occurs during processing.
Requirements:
- subprocess
- csv
- glob
- random
- os
Example:
>>> task_func('/path/to/file.csv')
['/path/to/split_00', '/path/to/split_01', ...]

System prompt
You are an expert programmer. Solve the task exactly as specified. Output your solution as fenced code blocks using the required file name(s) and the exact function/type signatures requested. Prefer correctness; do not include prose outside code unless asked.
Proposed solution
Looking at this task, I need to:
1. Check if the file exists and is a CSV file
2. Use the `split` shell command to divide the CSV into smaller files
3. Shuffle the lines in each resulting file
4. Return the paths to the split files
Let me implement this step by step:
```python
import subprocess
import csv
import glob
import random
import os
def task_func(file):
"""
Divide a CSV file into several smaller files and shuffle the lines in each file.
This function takes a CSV file path as input, divides it into smaller files using
the shell 'split' command, and shuffles the rows in each of the resulting files.
The output files are named with a 'split_' prefix.
Parameters:
- file (str): The path to the CSV file.
Returns:
- list: The paths to the split files. Returns an empty list if the file does not exist, is not a CSV file, or if an error occurs during processing.
Requirements:
- subprocess
- csv
- glob
- random
- os

>>> task_func('/path/to/file.csv')
['/path/to/split_00', '/path/to/split_01', ...]
"""
# Check if file exists
if not os.path.exists(file):
return []
# Check if it's a CSV file (by extension)
if not file.lower().endswith('.csv'):
return []
try:
# Get the directory and base name
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(file))
base_name = os.path.basename(file)
# Use split command to divide the file
# The split command creates files with default names like 'xaa', 'xab', etc.
# We'll use a prefix for the output files
split_prefix = os.path.join(dir_path, 'split_')
# Run the split command - split into chunks of lines (using a reasonable default)
# We'll split into files with 100 lines each (excluding header if present)
result = subprocess.run(
['split', '-l', '100', file, split_prefix],
capture_output=True,
text=True
)
if result.returncode != 0:
return []
# Find all split files
split_files = glob.glob(os.path.join(dir_path, 'split_*'))
# Shuffle each file's content
for split_file in split_files:
try:
# Read the file content
with open(split_file, 'r', newline='') as f:
lines = f.readlines()
# If there's a header row, keep it at the top and shuffle the rest
if len(lines) > 1:
header = lines[0]
data_lines = lines[1:]
random.shuffle(data_lines)
shuffled_lines = [header] + data_lines
else:
# If only one line or empty, just shuffle what's there
random.shuffle(lines)
shuffled_lines = lines
# Write back the shuffled content
with open(split_file, 'w', newline='') as f:
f.writelines(shuffled_lines)

return []
# Sort the files to ensure consistent ordering
split_files.sort()
return split_files
except Exception:
return []
