Move a block of lines to file if string found in the block.
I have a "main" file which has blocks of data for each user defined by tags BEGIN and END.
I have another file with just user id's in there which needs to be filtered.
For example, this file has 3 id's
I want to create separate files for each user with the blocks of data inside that main file.
For example, since the first two users are in the main file, I want to create 2 separate files with "blocks" of data related to just that specific user in each file.
Please note that the number of lines that can be in a "block"(lines between BEGIN and END tags) vary for each user.
Any help or ideas in creating this script would be much appreciated.
Hi Pamu, Your code did not work for me. I ran your code from command prompt, and it gave me an error. (I executed your code using the same exact files above)
And Elixir, How am I supposed to run your code? put it in a wrapper and run? or run from command prompt?
Elixir,
Your method did not work either. I got the same error.
Here is my uname o/p just in case: SunOS c1dupep4 5.10 Generic_147440-25 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5120
