Thank you! I've tried it, but I got this message:

Quote:
macbook-pro-de-jmm:es02 jmmmac$ awk '/head/{p=1;i++}p{print > FILENAME"-part-"i}/end/{p=0}' file*
awk: syntax error at source line 1
context is
/head/{p=1;i++}p{print > >>> FILENAME"-part-" <<<
awk: illegal statement at source line 1
awk: illegal statement at source line 1
macbook-pro-de-jose-manuel-martinez-martinez:es02 jmmmac$
By the way, might I write a regular expresion instead of head? Say,
Code:
<intervention.+?>

.

Thanks

       -v, --verbose
	      always print headers giving file names

       --help display this help and exit
