Split entire highway shapefile based on intersected points?

Question

Hello,

I have a polyline shapefile of a highway (about 100km). That polyline has just one feature, he entire highway.

I want to split that entire line into segments based on points (other shapefile) that intersect the highway.

How can I do this?

Thanks!!!

Anything to do with features is in the associated toolset... so beyond what Jayanta and I have suggested, there are other options

Hi Dan, thanks for the reply.

Well, I don't want to split at vertices... they are just random points along the line, the line doesn't turn or anything.

I have an advanced license... do you know any more options...?
