Creating two files out of one file
Hi members,

I have a file with lots of text like this:
Code:
asdsfkm
dfsfom['
agko
dfblml;'
afdgpk
gkopdf
HUMAN 12 L 123E 43 
HUMAN 33 L 49235 123
HUMAN 43 L  J432 234
TER
HUMAN 9 D 3245 56
HUMAN 87 D 5856N 43
HUMAN 54 D 976 56
TER 
gsdfb
sdfg hyjf gh 
dgfj jk

now i want to extract only the rows with HUMAN as its 1st column
for this I used :
Code:
ruby -ne 'print if /^Human/; exit if /^TER/' $line | awk 'print $1, "\t"$2,  "\t"$3, "\t"$4, "\t"$5}' >$line"new"

This is creating a file containing data from first "HUMAN" to first TER. that is :
Code:
HUMAN 12 L 123E 43 
HUMAN 33 L 49235 123
HUMAN 43 L  J432 234

But, I need to create another file which should contain another data set after first "TER" till the second "TER", That is:
Code:
HUMAN 9 D 3245 56
HUMAN 87 D 5856N 43
HUMAN 54 D 976 56

which means that all "L" in 3rd row in one file and all "D" in 3rd row in second file. And also this L and D demarcation in filename.

Thanks in advance.

locale::codes::langvar

Locale::Codes::LangVar(3pm)				 Perl Programmers Reference Guide			       Locale::Codes::LangVar(3pm)

NAME

       Locale::Codes::LangVar - standard codes for language variation identification

SYNOPSIS

	  use Locale::Codes::LangVar;

	  $lvar = code2langvar('acm');		       # $lvar gets 'Mesopotamian Arabic'
	  $code = langvar2code('Mesopotamian Arabic'); # $code gets 'acm'

	  @codes   = all_langvar_codes();
	  @names   = all_langvar_names();

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Codes::LangVar" module provides access to standard codes used for identifying language variations, such as those as defined in
       the IANA language registry.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default IANA language
       registry codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying language variations. A code set may be specified using either a name, or
       a constant that is automatically exported by this module.

       For example, the two are equivalent:

	  $lvar = code2langvar('en','alpha-2');
	  $lvar = code2langvar('en',LOCALE_CODE_ALPHA_2);

       The codesets currently supported are:

       alpha
	   This is the set of alphanumeric codes from the IANA language registry, such as 'arevela' for Eastern Armenian.

	   This code set is identified with the symbol "LOCALE_LANGVAR_ALPHA".

	   This is the default code set.

ROUTINES

       code2langvar ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       langvar2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       langvar_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_langvar_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_langvar_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangVar::rename_langvar  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangVar::add_langvar  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangVar::delete_langvar  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangVar::add_langvar_alias  ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Codes::LangVar::delete_langvar_alias  ( NAME )
       Locale::Codes::LangVar::rename_langvar_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangVar::add_langvar_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::LangVar::delete_langvar_code_alias  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
