Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Break a file into smaller pieces with same search string Post 303023869 by Don Cragun on Tuesday 25th of September 2018 05:16:46 AM

We obviously have a little bit of a language barrier here. I have no idea what "remove the expression receptively" means. So, I do not know what output you want to place into any of your output files.

Since you can't do arithmetic in sed, you'll probably want to process your input file directly in the shell or use something like awk or perl.

Can we assume that every input line containing <expression> will have a line following it containing </expression>?

Please try to come up with something that does what you want and show us what you have tried to get there. And, please show us exactly what output you hope to produce in each of the output files you want to produce from your sample input!
