Using awk to create files based on a variable name
Hey all,
I am parsing a file which have records containing one of a number of files names:
".psd", ".cr2", ".crw" , ".cr", ".xi", ".jpg", ".xif" etc
Somewhere on each line there is a value "Namex.psd" "Namex.crw" etc. The position of this name is highly variable
I need to output all the ".psd" records into a single file called PSD. Each record in the file would be named "Namex".
Ultimately I would have 8 or 9 file names containing 15 thousand records.

The question is how do I output data into records based on the contents of the data?

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

---------- Post updated at 11:30 AM ---------- Previous update was at 11:23 AM ----------

One clarification.
I meant each value in the output file would be Namex.
example
an input record containing "picture_001.psd would be output to a filename called "PSD" and it's value would be "picture_001"

gr_plot_psd_f

GR_PLOT_PSD_F(1)						   User Commands						  GR_PLOT_PSD_F(1)

NAME

       gr_plot_psd_f - plot power spectral density using GNU Radio

SYNOPSIS

       gr_plot_psd_f: [options] input_filename

DESCRIPTION

       Takes a GNU Radio binary file (with specified data type using --data-type) and displays the I&Q data versus time as well as the power spec-
       tral density (PSD) plot. The y-axis values are plotted assuming volts as the amplitude of the I&Q streams and converted	into  dBm  in  the
       frequency  domain  (the	1/N  power adjustment out of the FFT is performed internally). The script plots a certain block of data at a time,
       specified on the command line as -B or --block. The start position in the file can be set by specifying -s or --start  and  defaults  to  0
       (the start of the file). By default, the system assumes a sample rate of 1, so in time, each sample is plotted versus the sample number. To
       set a true time and frequency axis, set the sample rate (-R or --sample-rate) to the sample rate used when capturing the samples.  Finally,
       the  size  of  the FFT to use for the PSD and spectrogram plots can be set independently with --psd-size and --spec-size, respectively. The
       spectrogram plot does not display by default and is turned on with -S or --enable-spec.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      show this help message and exit

       -B BLOCK, --block=BLOCK
	      Specify the block size [default=8192]

       -s START, --start=START
	      Specify where to start in the file [default=0]

       -R SAMPLE_RATE, --sample-rate=SAMPLE_RATE
	      Set the sampler rate of the data [default=1.0]

       --psd-size=PSD_SIZE
	      Set the size of the PSD FFT [default=1024]

       --spec-size=SPEC_SIZE
	      Set the size of the spectrogram FFT [default=256]

       -S, --enable-spec
	      Turn on plotting the spectrogram [default=False]
