Full Discussion: Loop through file and write out lines to file(s)
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Loop through file and write out lines to file(s) Post 77115 by r2007 on Tuesday 5th of July 2005 12:21:06 AM
Old 07-05-2005
Code:
awk 'BEGIN{of="file0.txt"}/^Header/{close(of);of="file"++i".txt";}{print>of}' file.txt

1. begin != BEGIN --- typo, Thank you!
2. '>' != '>>' --- it is right '>' != '>>', but using '>' is better than '>>' in this thread.
3. depending on the inital assumptions: is it the string 'Header' that segregate the records or is there some other record segregation logic --- agree, hope Jtrinh can talk more about the rule of the file.
