AWK File Split
Hi All,

Input.txt
Code:
XYZONEABC　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 
CZXTWOJJJ
KKKSIXOOO
asdfhajlsdhfajs
asdfasfasdf

Output Files:
Code:
ONE.txt
XYZONEABC　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Code:
 

TWO.txt
CZXTWOJJJ

 

SIX.txt
KKKSIXOOO


I had a script
File.awk
Code:
awk '!/^$/{
a=substr($0,3,3)
print $0 > a".txt"
}' Input.txt

above script will use the substr and split the data accordingly..
I need to fetch only ONE,TWO,SIX records and i need to get only three files(ONE.txt, TWO.txt, SIX.txt) always i need to fetch these files only on every run i need to ignore other records..

Thanks

Well, also with your sample input the substr should be substr($0,4,3). awk starts at 1. character 4 is where "ONE"/"TWO"/"SIX" begin...
