Thanks.

Sorry 'bout that - some awk's increment pre-increment ops don't seem to work the way they supposed to.

Code:

awk '/SERVER/{if (n++) close(output); output= f n} n {print >> output }' f=/vikas/list /vikas/final

On Solaris - use 'nawk' or '/usr/xpg4/bin/awk'

Code:

nawk '/^SERVER/ { 
	close(f); f = "/vikas/list" ++c 
	} 
{ 
	print > f 
}' /vikas/final

Thanks.

Hi,

I tried lots of commands including the above ones. They all run fine on Linux machines
BUT not on the solaris machines, dont know the reason behind it.

Anyways, MANY MANY THANKS to all for your time and help. I found this command to work perfectly.

Code:

/usr/xpg4/bin/awk '/SERVER/{n++}{print > f n}' f=/vikas/list /vikas/final

Thanks again.
