Hi.

Here's one method with perl:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env bash

# @(#) s2	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 perl

FILE=${1-data2}

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

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??

pl " Renaming script, sample in perl:"
cat p1

# Rename split file based on content of file.
# Sample data line:
# Info: Started at:         Tue Sep 10 10:30:04 2013
# New file name from fragments of data line:
# output.log_10Sep13_10:30:04
#
# extract line "Info: started at" from file
# split into array, create string from fields 758_6
# close, issue rename file to output.log_<string>
for file in xx*
do
  ./p1 $file
done

pl " Renamed files:"
ls -1 output*

exit 0

producing:
Code:
$ ./s2

use strict;
use warnings;

my ( $file, $f, @pieces, $newname );
$file = shift || die " Expected filename, got nothing.\n";
open( $f, "<", $file ) || die " Cannot open file $file\.";
while (<$f>) {
  chomp;
  next if not /Info: Started at:/;
  @pieces  = split(/\s+/);
  $newname = $pieces[5] . $pieces[4] . $pieces[7] . "_" . $pieces[6];
  close $f || die " Oops, cannot close $file\n";
  rename $file, "output_$newname" || die " Cannot rename $file\n";
  last;
}

exit(0);

 Renamed files:
output_10Sep2013_10:30:04
output_11Sep2013_10:30:03

To avoid making the perl script too complex, the file loop is in the shell script. One optimization that could be done is to pull that loop into the perl script.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl
