Hello,

I want to split or cut a large size log file by year wise(eg 2009, 2010) .But the source file must not have the splited or cut lines after this process ,all of them must move to the destination folder.Does grep command have the fuctionality like cut and paste? I used grep -Ev command but the sourse file have the greped lines.

Thanks in advance Smilie

With this command you get the outputfiles as file_2009, file_2010 etc:
Code:
awk -F"[/:]" '{print > "file_" $3}' file1

Do you want to extract records from only a certain year?
