Hello to everyone,
I am new to UNIX and I am having a problem. I have a file full of information, and need to create diferent files. I have to split the file whenever I find a sentence in the original one. This sentence is always the same (JOB ^....). As you can see I need to read a file, and whenever I find a sentence create a new file, ending whenever I find that sentence again. I have read about sed and awk, but don't know how to use it, or if it is the best option. I need to split the file because the next step in the process is not capable of doing it.
An example of the original file would be:
Job^1
a
b
c
Job^2
d
e
f

And need to end with a two files. The first file:
Job^1
a
b
c
A second file:
Job^2
d
e
f

Any help anyone could give me would be very appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Jordi
