Try csplit - not I'm not completely clear on your requirements but this is close:
Code:
csplit -f comment -n 4 Me_thread_spell.txt '/;;;/'

This will create comment0001 -> comment9999, one file for each ;;; string in the file.
IF you need to have the new files named commentnnnn.txt add this:
Code:
ls comment* > t.lis
while read fname 
do
  mv $fname ${fname}.txt
done < t.lis

edit note corrections in red

This will only work if there are no pre-existing files named 'comment[something]' in the directory. Otherwise you get unexpected results. Plus csplit will overwrite files, for example, if there is a comment0022 out there already, it may be clobbered by csplit.

Wx::Perl::DataWalker(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				 Wx::Perl::DataWalker(3pm)

NAME
Wx::Perl::DataWalker - Perl extension for blah blah blah SYNOPSIS
# alternatively, see the dataWalker.pl script in this distribution! use Wx::Perl::DataWalker; my $data_to_browse = { # complex data structure. # Good test: \%:: }; package MyWalkerDialog; our @ISA = qw(Wx::App); sub OnInit { my $self = shift; my $frame = Wx::Perl::DataWalker->new( {data => $data_to_browse}, undef, -1, "dataWalker", ); $self->SetTopWindow($frame); $frame->Show(1); $frame->SetSize(500,500); return 1; } package main; my $app = MyWalkerDialog->new(); $app->MainLoop(); DESCRIPTION
"Wx::Perl::DataWalker" implements a "Wx::Frame" subclass that shows a relatively simple Perl data structure browser. After opening such a frame and supplying it with a reference to an essentially arbitrary data structure, you can visually browse it by double-clicking references. So far, there is no tree view but only a display of the current level of the data structure. You can traverse back up the structure with a back button. Optionally, "Wx::Perl::DataWalker" displays the (approximate!) size of the data structure using "Devel::Size". SEE ALSO
