Read the lines within file and send each line to different new file
I need help.....I have number of data files and I need to read the contains of each file which is three lines by awk commands or script, and send each line within the data file to different new file . That means I will have three files as a result, the first file will contains the first lines for all the data files , the second file will contain the second lines for all the data files and so on.
