Hi.

For the sample data file "data1":
Code:
Document * of 20
Hello

=====
Document one of 20

World

=====
Document 44 of 20

Now is

=====
Document "Climatology Review" in of 20

with no Documents at the beginning of the time.

=====

I ran this script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

# @(#) s1       Demonstrate csplit.

F=${1-data1}

csplit -k -s -z $F "/^Document.*of/" {\*}

echo
for file in xx*
do
        echo
        echo "File: $file"
        head -3 $file |
        cat -n
done

exit 0

To produce this:
Code:
% ./s1


File: xx00
     1  Document * of 20
     2  Hello
     3

File: xx01
     1  Document one of 20
     2
     3  World

File: xx02
     1  Document 44 of 20
     2
     3  Now is

File: xx03
     1  Document "Climatology Review" in of 20
     2
     3  with no Documents at the beginning of the time.

This assumes that the lines "=====" are visual sugar ... cheers, drl
