Shell Programming and Scripting

It would be helpful if you post a sample of your file.

Regards

I hope the below description helps

I have a file with below data (it's not sample, i will always have five lines of data)
but they are timestamps and the second and fifth lines (H180620081 & H180620082) will always have their last numbers as 1 and 2.

So if it is 1 I would like to select the line above H180620081 and copied it into a different output file and if it is H180620082 then copied it into another file.

ccv01.fil.20080618134215.rep
H180620081 31310
space
ccv01.fil.20080618134236.rep
H180620082 33330

Code:

awk 'NR%3 == 1 {s = $0}
NR%3 == 2 {print s > ("file_" ($1 ~ /1$/ ? 1 : 2))}
' file

Regards

thanks Franklin,

My file name is A.txt so

what would my output file names be and which file name should I put at ("file_" ($1-----

awk 'NR%3 == 1 {s = $0}
NR%3 == 2 {print s > ("file_" ($1 ~ /1$/ ? 1 : 2))}
' file
