Shell Programming and Scripting

Thanx for your help vgersh99..

but what i actually want to do is split my original file, into smaller ones, each containing the M U S E E text and following, upto the next occurence of the M U S E E string..

Does this help?

nawk -f penguin.awk penguin.txt

Code:

BEGIN {
   RS=""
   extractFile="extract.txt"
}
$1=$1 { if $1 ~ /^M U S E E/ { out=extractFile ++cnt; print $0 > out }

Code:

awk 'BEGIN {
   count=0 ;
}
{ if ( $0 ~ "M U S E E" )
  {
      count++ ;
      print $0 > count
  }
  else
  {
     print $1 >> count

  }
}' file1

ok... but, i get nothing on the output..

here is a bit of my file:

how does it work?

thanx

You try this as,

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# $1= Inputfile
ARR=($(grep -n 'M U S E E' $1 | cut -d':' -f1))

i=0
let j=i+1

cnt=${#ARR[*]}

while [[ $i -lt $cnt ]]
do
 
 sed -n "$((${ARR[$i]}+1)),$((${ARR[$j]}-1)) p" $1
 echo
 let i=i+1
 
done 

exit 0
## END ####

Execute the script as,
bash test.bash <filename>

HTH.

ok, i've tested this.. it looks good. but i have the impression it only prints the last M U S E E "block"...
how to extract each block?

we are getting there..

Yes. You are correct. Lets check with very simple example as,

==Example==
# cat testfile
M U S E E
first
second

M U S E E
third
fourth

M U S E E
fifth
sixth
M U S E E

Code:

#!/bin/bash
# $1= Inputfile
ARR=($(grep -n 'M U S E E' $1 | cut -d':' -f1))

i=0
let j=i+1

cnt=${#ARR[*]}

while [[ $i -lt $cnt ]]
do

 sed -n "$((${ARR[$i]}+1)),$((${ARR[$j]}-1)) p" $1
 #echo
 let i=i+1
 let j=i+1
 if [[ $j -gt ${ARR[$j]} ]]
 then
     break;
 fi

done

exit 0
## END ####

==Output==
# bash test.bash testfile
first
second

third
fourth

fifth
sixth


I hope it is now working correctly.
