Whats the problem whit my script???
I want to take the even-numbered lines from a file and put them in a separate file and the same thing with the odd-numbered lines.

#!/bin/bash
file=$1
awk
'
{
if ( NR % 2 == 0)
{ (( getline < "$file" ) > "even.txt" )}
else
{ (( getline < "$file" ) > "odd.txt" )}
}
' $file

#!/bin/bash
file=$1
awk
'
{
if ( NR % 2 == 0)
{ ( getline < "$file" )
print > "even.txt"
}
else
{ ( getline < "$file" )
print > "odd.txt"
}
}
' $file

Don't get complicated
Code:
#!/bin/bash
file=$1
awk '{
if (NR%2==0) 
      {print > "even.txt"}
else
      {print > "odd.txt"}
}' $file

Hi,

still way too complicated, this can be solved even without awk.
You need only shell internals:

Try this:

Code:
while   {read var1
        read var2} 
    do
        echo $var1 >> fileodd
        echo $var2 >> fileeven
    done < file
