Lightbulb Splitting input files into multiple files through AWK command
Hi,

I needs to split *.txt files from single directory depends on the some mutltiple input values. i have wrote the code like below

for file in *.txt
do
grep -i -h "value1|value2" $file > $file;
done.

My requirment is more input values needs to be given in grep; let us say 50 values($value1,$value2.....$value50).
is there any good way of writing the code.

example
aaa 1111 ee3456
bbb 2222 bb7658
kkk 8888 nn1234
hhh 5555 bb4444
lll 9999 ee0987

Also is it possible to split the file starting from 11th position to 15th position;
becaz i want split the file by considering position from the files so that my input values will reduce. like in exapmle(there are repeted values ee bb nn bb ee etc) from the file.

is that can be achived through AWK command?

Thanks in advance.

purple-remote

purple-remote(1)						   User Commands						  purple-remote(1)

NAME

       purple-remote - Send remote commands to Pidgin/Finch

SYNOPSIS

       purple-remote [-command1] [-command2] [-...]

DESCRIPTION

       Send remote commands to Purple. This program uses DBus to communicate with Pidgin/Finch.

OPTIONS

       Each command is of one of the three types:

       [protocol:]commandname?param1=value1=value2&...	FunctionName?param1=value1=value2&...  FunctionName(value1,value2,...)

       The second and third form are provided for completeness but their use is not recommended; use purple-send or purple-send-async instead. The
       second form uses introspection to find out the parameter names and their types, therefore it is rather slow.

       Here are some examples:

	 jabber:goim?screenname=testone@localhost=hi
	 jabber:gochat?room=TestRoom=conference.localhost
	 jabber:getinfo?screenname=testone@localhost
	 jabber:addbuddy?screenname=my friend

	 setstatus?status=away=don't disturb
	 quit

	 PurpleAccountsFindConnected?name==prpl-jabber
	 PurpleAccountFindConnected(,prpl-jabber)
