Just put it in a file, make it executable (chmod) and insert the following as the first line:
Code:
#!/bin/sh

then Frans' script should work..

To Frans and Scrutinizer,

I can actually run bash files and when I tried that code it gave me the following error regarding line 19:

18. while read L
19. do N=$(echo $L | grep -E '^(VTZ|NYZ)[0-9]+') && { F=$N; :>$F; }
20. echo $L >> $F
21. done < infile

line 19: $F: ambiguous redirect

Thanks!

What if you replace $F by ${F} ?
try adding an echo $F, just after the F=$N assignment.

Thanks for the quick response, but I still got

18. while read L
19. do N=$(echo $L | grep -E '^(VTZ|NYZ)[0-9]+') && { F=$N; echo $F :>${F}; }
20. echo $L >> $F
21. done < infile

line 19: $F: ambiguous redirect (and this message appeared 23 times.

Thanks again for your help!
