and what have you done so far to solve it? ... cheers, drl
It's not different, but since I received no answer on that query I decided to write the problem in a different way since maybe it was difficult to understand what I meant. I have a feeling though that this should be an easy task to solve, but I am stuck. I have determined at which element I should split by grep'ing for "#fruit" to find number of elements and using "expr" and "/" to get the closest integer value of the number of the element where I should split. But from there I am unsure about the rest. I have a feeling that awk should be the way to go but I am not sure how. Another option is to find the line number of the start of the element where I should cut.
