Hi all,

I have a file of around 300 lines in which string "SERVER" occurs around 32 times.

for eg.

I need to split files like, for eg


I am using this code
awk '/SERVER/{n++}{print > f n}' f=/vikas/list /vikas/final

But the problem is that it makes maximum of 10 files, but I need more than 30.
I have tried using nawk, but didnt worked.
I am using bash scripting on Sun OS.


Any other way of splitting this data ???

Pls help !!!

Thanks in adv.
Regards,
Vikas

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

Thanks vgersh99,
will get back to you after trying this command.

hi,
this cmd is making as many blank files as the string SERVER is there in the final file.

pls help

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

hey,
This didnt made any file, not even a blank one.
Thanks.

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

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