tr does not work that way. It deals with individual characters, not strings. Since you gave it two characters on the input, it's expecting 2 characters on the output, too.

This should work:

Thanks Corona688 for your input !
Here is another solution using AWK:
~/unix.com$ awk '{gsub("\r","");print > "file"$NF".txt"}' RAW

You could also just have awk ignore the extra char on the end like this:

awk '{print > "file.txt" susbtr($0,length-2,2) }' RAW

awk '{print > "file"$NF".txt"}' RAW

awk '{print > $3".txt"}' EDIT.txt

awk '{print > $NF".txt"}' RAW

I'f you know you only have a few different record types you could try something like this:

awk '{ print > "file." substr($0,length-1) }' RAW


otherwise try
awk '
/T0$/ { print > "file1" ;...

To stick with the two command approach, you would be better with:-grep "procedures" > procedures.txt
grep -v "procedures" > codes.txt

Hi madrazzii,
Check this out:
awk '{if($0~/PROCEDURES/) print >"PROCEDURES.TXT" ; if ($0~/CODES/) print >"CODES.txt" }' EDIT.txt

Using awk:

awk '/PROCEDURES/ { print > "PROCEDURES.TXT"; next} { print > "CODES.TXT" }' infile

Then extend bipinajith's script to look like awk '{ print substr($0,1,218) "\r"; }' ...

I think you have (windows?) control chars (esp. <CR> = carriage return = ^M = 0x0D) in your file, making subsequent lines overwrite earlier lines. Give it a shot after removing those... (tr -d '\r'...

Try
cut -c 1-218 INP_psf1301.txt > outputfile.txt
OR
awk '{ print substr($0,1,218); } ' INP_psf1301.txt > outputfile.txt
