Hello mystition,

Could you please try following and let me know if this works for you, though I haven't seen anything matching from your shown Input_file here.
Code:
awk -F, '{len=length($1);Q=substr($1,len-1);if(Q>=0 && Q<=15){print "General" OFS $1 OFS "123,0" OFS $3 OFS "0" >> "File1.txt"};if(Q>=16 && Q<=25){print "General" OFS $1 OFS "123,0" OFS $3 OFS "0" >> "File2.txt"};if(Q>=26 && Q<=40){print "General" OFS $1 OFS "123,0" OFS $3 OFS "0" >> "File3.txt"}}'  Input_file

As your Input_file is not having any of the content matching to your requirement so I couldn't test it, if your requirement is not matching to above code please show us more Input_file with expected output too.
EDIT: Adding a non-one liner form for above solution as follows.
Code:
awk -F, '{
                len=length($1);
                Q=substr($1,len-1);
                if(Q>=0 && Q<=15){
                                        print "General" OFS $1 OFS "123,0" OFS $3 OFS "0" >> "File1.txt"
                                 };
                if(Q>=16 && Q<=25){
                                        print "General" OFS $1 OFS "123,0" OFS $3 OFS "0" >> "File2.txt"
                                 };
                if(Q>=26 && Q<=40){
                                        print "General" OFS $1 OFS "123,0" OFS $3 OFS "0" >> "File3.txt"
                                  }
         }
        '   Input_file

Thanks,
R. Singh
