Unhappy split files by specifying a string (bash shell)
Hi all,

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

for eg.
Quote:
SERVER
.....
.....
....

SERVER

.....
.....
....

SERVER
.....
.....
....

I need to split files like, for eg


Quote:
file1
SERVER
....
....
....

file2
SERVER
.....
...
....


file3
SERVER
.....
....
....
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

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

pls help
