Hi.

Addressing the splitting of the file with standard utility csplit:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash

# @(#) s1	Demonstrate splitting of file at /pattern/+-count, csplit.

# Utility functions: print-as-echo, print-line-with-visual-space, debug.
# export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
pe() { for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done; printf "\n"; }
pl() { pe;pe "-----" ;pe "$*"; }
db() { ( printf " db, ";for _i;do printf "%s" "$_i";done;printf "\n" ) >&2 ; }
db() { : ; }
C=$HOME/bin/context && [ -f $C ] && $C csplit

FILE=${1-data1}

# Remove debris from previous runs.
rm -f xx??

pl " Input data file $FILE:"
cat $FILE

pl " Current situation of resultant xx?? files (expecting none):"
ls xx??

pl " Results, counts of split file in characters:"
csplit -k -z $FILE '/Version/-1' '{*}'

pl " Current situation, and content of files:"
ls -lgG xx??
pe
head xx??

exit 0

producing:
Code:
$ ./s1

Environment: LC_ALL = C, LANG = C
(Versions displayed with local utility "version")
OS, ker|rel, machine: Linux, 2.6.26-2-amd64, x86_64
Distribution        : Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.8 (lenny) 
bash GNU bash 3.2.39
csplit (GNU coreutils) 6.10

-----
 Input data file data1:
Unrelated stuff
Version something
No discernible pattern
Version otherwise

-----
 Current situation of resultant xx?? files (expecting none):
ls: cannot access xx??: No such file or directory

-----
 Results, counts of split file in characters:
34
41

-----
 Current situation, and content of files:
-rw-r--r-- 1 34 Sep 12 06:33 xx00
-rw-r--r-- 1 41 Sep 12 06:33 xx01

==> xx00 <==
Unrelated stuff
Version something

==> xx01 <==
No discernible pattern
Version otherwise

See man pages for details.

NAME
shells - shell database SYNOPSIS
/etc/shells DESCRIPTION
The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser- shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root. A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored. The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/ksh93, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh, /bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/ksh93, /usr/bin/pfcsh, /usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh, and /usr/sfw/bin/zsh. /etc/shells overrides the default list. Invalid shells in /etc/shells could cause unexpected behavior, such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1). FILES
