Pattern search and save it as .txt file with some name..

Hello,
I have a note pad at /usr/abc location with the following content, since it is a huge file i need to split it into multiple .txt files.

Code:
A123|akdhj      |21kjsdff  |b212b1b21 |0
A123asdasd     |assdd     |asdasdsdqw|6
A123|QEWQ    |NMTGHJK |zxczxczx|3
A123|GEGBGH  |RTYBN    |xcvvxc|2
A123|VDFGER  |RYRYRTY |QRRWR|6
A123|RGEDFB   |YRTYTR |DFGDGDG|1
A123|DFRER    |WT3YTY |DGDGFG|2
A123|DFBDB    |QRQR     |QRQRQ|6
A123|DBDB     |WEWER   |QQQWER|8
A123|DBDBB   |WERWER  |YJTYJTY|0
Z213             |fasf        |afaf|afaffa|23
Z213             |asf        |afaf|afaffa|0
Z213             |FDDS        |afaf|afaffa|89
Z213             |RWER       |afaf|afaffa|8
Z213             |fQWE        |afaf|afaffa|8
Z213             |sdfdsf        |afaf|afaffa|7
Z213             |bfgh        |afaf|afaffa|3
Z213             |erter        |afaf|afaffa|1
Z213             |tyutyu        |afaf|afaffa|3
Z213             |rtret        |afaf|afaffa|9
Z213             |werwe        |afaf|afaffa|1

Above is the ac.txt file with huge content like this some starting with A123 some with Z213 and so on...
Now my requirement.

I want to read this file first search for A123 and save it in some other location containg all the records of A123, then search for Z213 and save it in some other location containg all the records of Z213 and so on..
Please suggest.
