I have a text file that shows the output of my solar inverters. I want to separate this into sections. overview , device 1 , device 2 , device 3. Each device has different number of lines. but they all have unique starting points. Overview starts with 6 #'s, Devices have 4#'s and their data starts with 2 #'s. I know the answer is in front of me. How to separate them so I can import them to a box at home that is running appache.

It looks like you've been posting for years without using CODE tags. In many of your posts, it didn't make a lot of difference, but please get into the habit of using CODE tags when you show sample code, input, and output. Leaving out the tags lets the HTML processing coalesce multiple spaces into single spaces which can significantly alter code that is needed to process input files, make code hard to read, and cause us to make suggestions that will produce output that is not formatted the way you want it. Please review the PM you should have received by now for simple directions showing how to use CODE tags.
