Well, gandolf989, that appears to be a poor suggestion given that split will do this all in a single operation. You are wasting IO and CPU resources so it will be quite slow. Also, how would you know when to stop writing code or running your loop? There is no point reinventing a process that works very well already and lets you customise the beginning and end of the output files if you need to.
If the splitting up dependant on any condition other than record count, then csplit may be the tool for you, however without some sample data and rules to follow it's impossible to really know what you need.
Please wrap all code, file, input & output/errors in CODE tags as it makes them far easier to read and preserves multiple spaces and long lines in case these are important.
Thanks, in advance,
Robin
