Copying some part of file
Hey friends,
Here I am with another query. I have a TXT file.
Foe an example

EX ID : B-Mezine
....
...
...
Some lines of text (Not fixed in length n no of lines)..
...
...
..
END EX ID

Some blank lines in between two records(Not fixed in numbers)

EX ID : B-Mezine
....
...
...
Some lines of text (Not fixed in length n no of lines)
..
...
...
..END EX ID
Some blank lines in between two records(Not fixed in numbers)
EX ID : B-Mezine
....
...
...
Some lines of text (Not fixed in length n no of lines)
..
...
...
..END EX ID


Now if I consider portion from EX ID : B-Mezine to END EX ID a record then this file has some thousand record in it.

Now what I want is, I want to split this file in say 7700 records in each file. For eg. If a file has 38700 records and I want to split this file in 7700-7700 records then it should copy first 7700 records from the main file n paste it in a new file named as part1.txt, den next 7700 records-part2.txt n so on.

Can any one help me in this matter?

Thanx in advance
Anushree.

platform::shell

platform::shell(n)					       Tcl Bundled Packages						platform::shell(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       platform::shell - System identification support code and utilities

SYNOPSIS

       package require platform::shell ?1.1.4?

       platform::shell::generic shell
       platform::shell::identify shell
       platform::shell::platform shell
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       The platform::shell package provides several utility commands useful for the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell.

       This  package  allows the identification of the architecture of a specific Tcl shell different from the shell running the package. The only
       requirement is that the other shell (identified by its path), is actually executable on the current machine.

       While for most platform this means that the architecture of the interrogated shell is identical to the architecture of  the  running  shell
       this  is  not generally true. A counter example are all platforms which have 32 and 64 bit variants and where a 64bit system is able to run
       32bit code. For these running and interrogated shell may have different 32/64 bit settings and thus different identifiers.

       For applications like a code repository it is important to identify the architecture of the shell which will  actually  run  the  installed
       packages, versus the architecture of the shell running the repository software.

COMMANDS

       platform::shell::identify shell
	      This command does the same identification as platform::identify, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.

       platform::shell::generic shell
	      This command does the same identification as platform::generic, for the specified Tcl shell, in contrast to the running shell.

       platform::shell::platform shell
	      This command returns the contents of tcl_platform(platform) for the specified Tcl shell.

KEYWORDS

       operating system, cpu architecture, platform, architecture
