Strip the first record off a file and isolate fields off of it
I have a 2 part question on how to this in unix scripting using kshell or c shell.
I have a file described below:
1st record has 2 fields on it
every other record has 22 fields on it.
Example
ABC, email address
Detail 1
Detail 2
Detail 3
.
.
.
1st question is how can I create 2 files from the one file. The first file will just have the first record on it and the second file will contain all the other records on it.
2nd question is then, how can I assign the data from the 1st record to environment variables.
Based on the example above. I want to take the first record and take the ABC and assign that to environment variable and then assign the email address to an environment variable.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
