Thanks but I want the lines following HDR into the output as well..

Yes, looks like 10 is the max number of files but our file can have million records..

so, can we not do...

Yes, I did see that but I would like to send x number(say 500) of HDR's into one file and then switch to next file... so on..

No, I would like to split this file into several files and each of those sub files can have lets say 100 HDR records...

Lets say we have a file called abc.txt and it's contents are -
HDR..
B1234..
D1234..
HDR..
T1234...
S1234..
HDR..
....

We would like to split this file into sub files starting with HDR...
