Thank you. i did the first method and changed a little

awk '{print > "file.txt" susbtr($0,length-2) }' RAW

i did length -2 to get the TO, P1 etc appended to output files and also added ..txt hoping i would get fileT0.txt, fileP1.txt but i get file.txtT0, file.txtP1.

is there a way to have it saved as .txt extension when it outputs?

Thanks
