Split file into multiple files using delimiter
Hi,

I have a file which has many URLs delimited by space. Now i want them to move to separate files each one holding 10 URLs per file.

Code:
http://3276.e-printphoto.co.uk/guardian http://abdera.apache.org/ http://abdera.apache.org/docs/api/index.html

I have used the below code to arrange each URLs in a line, but unable to write the output to a file(still URLs exist in the same line)

Code:
tr -s '[[:space:]]' '\n' < urls.txt

urls.txt - Source file which has multiple URLs

O/P
http://3276.e-printphoto.co.uk/guardian
http://abdera.apache.org/
http://abdera.apache.org/docs/api/index.html

Code:
echo `tr -s '[[:space:]]' '\n' < urls.txt` >> newline.txt
##This fails to write the each URL in a single line

Please help.

Regards,
Shunmugavel K
