@vgersh99 - I really appreciate all the help, just want to ask one more thing.

Say my input file looks like below.
dn: serv=AAA,mscId=aaaaaa002aaaaaaaa426019001711495,ou=multiSCs,dc=btc
objectClass: CUDBService
serv: AAA

dn: serv=AAA,mscId=aaaaaa002aaaaaaaa426019001711250,ou=multiSCs,dc=btc
objectClass: CUDBService
serv: AAA

dn: serv=AAA,mscId=aaaaaa002aaaaaaaa426019001713072,ou=multiSCs,dc=btc
objectClass: CUDBService
serv: AAA

dn: serv=AAA,mscId=aaaaaa002aaaaaaaa426019001713017,ou=multiSCs,dc=btc
objectClass: CUDBService
serv: AAA

dn: serv=AAA,mscId=aaaaaa002aaaaaaaa426019001712815,ou=multiSCs,dc=btc
objectClass: CUDBService
serv: AAA

and i want to split the file into smaller 8 files, and all the above chunks of information starting with "dn: serv=AAA,mscId=" and seperated by a empty line. Is it possible to split time to smaller files such that each small file will have the entry starting with "dn: serv=AAA,mscId=" and end with an empty line, without disturbing the order/integrity of the input entries. (One liner command needed)

Kindly also explain the command interms of who the file manipulations is happening.

Thanks in advance.

nwclient

NWCLIENT(5)							     nwclient							       NWCLIENT(5)

NAME

       nwclient - configuration file for NWClient program suite

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page describes the rather simple format of the file $HOME/.nwclient, the configuration file for the NWClient program suite.

FILE FORMAT

       The  file  $HOME/.nwclient  consists  of  several  lines, each describing a NWClient connection. Lines beginning with # and empty lines are
       ignored as comments.

       Because you can store passwords in .nwclient, the user programs will only scan .nwclient when only the file owner has access rights to  the
       file. The file must be have permissions 0600.

       To  specify  a  NWClient connection, the name of the file server, the user name to be used and a password is necessary. The server name and
       the user name are specified as SERVER/USER, and the password is separated by a blank. The password field can be omitted. In this  case  the
       user programs will ask you for a password. If you specify the password to be just a dash, then no password is used.

       The  first  valid  specification  has a special meaning: If the user does not name a server on the command line, the first specification is
       used as a 'preferred connection'.

       An example might be the following:

	  # The preferred connection, the user is asked
	  # for a password
	  FS311/ME
	  # And a passwordless account on another server
	  CD-SERV/GUEST -

       With these lines in $HOME/.nwclient, calling 'ncpmount /mnt' will mount the the file server FS311 with user name ME on  /mnt  after  asking
       the user for a password.

       ncpmount -S cd-serv /cd will silently mount the server cd-serv on /cd.

       nprint,	pqlist and other user programs that require a valid login also look up $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and pos-
       sibly a password.

       Please note that the access permissions of .nwclient MUST be 600, for security reasons.
