In ArcGIS? Intersect would work - Input Features must be simple features: point, multipoint, line, or polygon. help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#//… – Mapperz♦ Jun 22 '11 at 14:32
Pretty sure Intersect won't work because it would only return a geometry whose dimension (0D, 1D, 2D, etc) is the same as or lower than the lowest order input geometry type which would be point. If you have ArcGIS 10 and an ArcInfo license the Split Lines at Points tool should work though: help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisdesktop/10.0/help/index.html#/… – blah238 Jun 22 '11 at 22:07
This VBA script from the old ArcScripts site might also work for you: arcscripts.esri.com/details.asp?dbid=14190 – blah238 Jun 22 '11 at 22:18
-1 Because not told which GIS system. – Nathan W Jun 22 '11 at 22:29
+1 on the ArcScripts recommendation - I've used that script many times. From memory I had to hack around to make it work, so let me know if you try it and it doesn't initially work and I can dig out the workaround – Stephen Lead Jun 23 '11 at 4:27
