Thank you but this file has other numbered variables too so I cannot search for numbers alone or characters alone. I must be able to search for 001FILE as a whole and then split the output into 001 FILE.

On another note, it doesn't have to be sed. I'm working on Sun Solaris 10 so which ever utility available by default will work too.

Any other ideas?
