Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Split and Rename files using Terminal and bin/bash Post 302476505 by mschpers on Thursday 2nd of December 2010 01:46:37 PM

When I run

csplit -f comment -n 4 Me_thread_spell.txt '/;;;/'

It only separates the main file into 2 files (which aren't text files), rather than the 2500 times that the actual ;;; occurs in my file. It should create 2500 text files, each with an individual instance that includes all the text between ;;; and the next ;;;.

I'm missing something here.... I just can't figure it out!

PLEASE HELP! I really don't want to have to copy and paste 2500 files. :-)
