Help needed - shell scripting
I have a file that has text in the format below

ABC
/ Some text /
ABC
/ Some text /
ABC
/ Some text /
ABC
/ Some text /
ABC
/ Some text /

How can I seperate the text between a pair of 'ABC' into seperate files ???

any information would be of great help. Thanks

Do you mean you want to create a file that is minus all the ABC's?
Code:
grep -v 'ABC' oldfile > newfile

no, if we consider the example ... i want to create five different files with the content of each coming from the text betweeen two consecutive 'ABC's

Code:
#/bin/ksh
let filecnt=0
while read record
do
     if [ `echo $record | grep -q '^ABC'` -ne 0 ] ; then
           echo "$record" > newfile"$filecnt"
           let filecnt=$filecnt + 1
     fi
done < oldfile

If same output can be achieved with sed?
Hi,

Out of interest, is possible to redirect the same output with sed to textfile.$count? using branching (b), hold space or whatsoever is available in sed to output different sections from one file to more than files?

Regards,
Tayyab

Perhaps use awk...
Code:
$ < infile awk '/ABC/{c++; next} {print > "outfile." c}'

$ head outfile.*
==> outfile.1 <==
/ Some text /

==> outfile.2 <==
/ Some text /

==> outfile.3 <==
/ Some text /

==> outfile.4 <==
/ Some text /

==> outfile.5 <==
/ Some text /
