AWK print lines into multiple files
Hi,

i have an input text file like this:

Code:
Student 1

science
=
Student 2
maths

Student 3

i would like to print each student information into separate files, each student id is separated by "=".

Desired output:

Code:
file1.out
Student 1

Any help with awk, sed, greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
