Help needed on sed command
Hi,

I am splitting a file based on pattern using sed -f command as below:

sed_cmd2 is the Pattern filename which has the below mentioned pattern in it:

#n
/\(.*\) \(.*\) \([Ss]mith\).*/w smith

Input file has following data
1 John Smith Chicago
2 Mary Smith New York
3 Judy Johnson Chicago
4 Mark George Los Angeles

so, the command sed -f sed_cmd2 inputfilename would split the file and places the data in smith as
1 John Smith Chicago
2 Mary Smith New York

Now the issue is how do I capture the results into any other file instead of smith.Redirection or change in name(smith to xyz) is not working.

Please provide me the solution.

TIA
