Thanks for the reply,

But, my input_file.txt will have multiple lines like

<a href="/home/document.do?assetkey=x-y-abcde-1&searchclause=photo">
<a href="/home/document.do?assetkey=x-y-12345-1&searchclause=photo">
<a href="/home/document.do?assetkey=x-y-xvyab-1&searchclause=photo">

<a href="/home/document.do?assetkey=x-y-56789-1&searchclause=river">
<a href="/home/document.do?assetkey=x-y-12345-1&searchclause=river">

after processing the each line from the input_file.txt, I need the ouput files like

abcde.html
12345.html
xvyab.html
56789.html
12345.html

Need furtehr help on this.
