Cut a file with tags
Hi,

I'm looking for a way to cut a file which has the same tag in it.

Example:
Code:
TAG
AAAA
BBBB
CCCCCC
DDDD
TAG
EE
FFF
GGGG
TAG
HHHHHH
TAG
IIII
JJ

I would like to take everything between the tags and send the result in a file like that:
File1
Code:
AAAA
BBBB
CCCCCC
DDDD

File2
Code:
EE
FFF
GGGG

File3
Code:
HHHHHH

Etc...
I guess a awk command exist to do this operation, but I have no idea how to do it....

Some help please? Smilie
