If You use bash You could try something like this, very simple and probably lots of pitfalls. But since You are processing source code there are syntactic rules that can be expected to be followed. It simply checks for the Begin word and increments the file name index when encountered.
Code:
lakris@ubuntu:~/projekt/scripts$ cat projekt.txt 
Begin Object1
txt1
end
;
Begin Object2
txt2
end
;
Begin Object3
txt3
end
;
Begin Object4
txt4
end
;
lakris@ubuntu:~/projekt/scripts$ cat splitit.sh 
#!/bin/bash
cnt=0
while read line;do
  [[ "$line" =~ "Begin" ]] && cnt=$(($cnt+1))
  echo $line goes into Object$cnt.txt
done < projekt.txt
lakris@ubuntu:~/projekt/scripts$ ./splitit.sh 
Begin Object1 goes into Object1.txt
txt1 goes into Object1.txt
end goes into Object1.txt
; goes into Object1.txt
Begin Object2 goes into Object2.txt
txt2 goes into Object2.txt
end goes into Object2.txt
; goes into Object2.txt
Begin Object3 goes into Object3.txt
txt3 goes into Object3.txt
end goes into Object3.txt
; goes into Object3.txt
Begin Object4 goes into Object4.txt
txt4 goes into Object4.txt
end goes into Object4.txt
; goes into Object4.txt
lakris@ubuntu:~/projekt/scripts$

Change "goes into" to ">>" when You are confident that the output is what You want. It will append to any file with that name so You may want to remove any Object*.txt first.

ecaccess-file-move

ECACCESS-FILE-MOVE(1p)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    ECACCESS-FILE-MOVE(1p)

NAME

       ecaccess-file-move - Move or Rename ECaccess Files

SYNOPSIS

       ecaccess-file-move -version|-help|-manual

       ecaccess-file-move [-debug] source-ecaccess-file target-ecaccess-file

DESCRIPTION

       Allow moving an ECaccess File. When the move occurs within the same ECaccess File System then it is a rename. When the move occurs across
       two different ECaccess File Systems then first a copy is done and then a delete of the original file is done (e.g. similar to ecaccess-
       file-copy ... -erase).

       The source-ecaccess-file and target-ecaccess-file are in the form [domain:][/user-id/]path. Please read the "Shell commands -> File
       Management" section of the "ecaccess" guide for more information on the ECaccess File System.

ARGUMENTS

       source-ecaccess-file
	       The source ECaccess File name.

       target-ecaccess-file
	       The target ECaccess File name.

OPTIONS

       -version
	       Display version number and exits.

       -help   Print a brief help message and exits.

       -manual Prints the manual page and exits.

       -debug  Display the SOAP messages exchanged.

EXAMPLES

       ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt ec:test2.txt

       Rename the test1.txt file in the ECFS directory of the authenticated user in test2.txt.

       ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt home:test2.txt

       Copy the test1.txt file from the ECFS directory of the authenticated user to the test2.txt file in the $HOME directory of the authenticated
       user, then delete the test1.txt file from ECFS.
