UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers

@Dan,

The requirements have not changed , the script that i coded was impromptu and may not satisfy the requirements

I have made a minor update to the code that RudiC gave on post #6 to pass the filename as parm to the script, see the code below

I am still working on the header and trailer part , will update the post once i make further progress

Code:

usr/bin/ksh

File1=$1

awk '
BEGIN   {OFN[0] ="temp_file"
         OFN[1] ="abc_reject_pqr_a_1_yymmdd"
        }

        {print  > OFN[substr($0,75,1)=="R"]
        }
' $1

Hi techedipro,
I'm not sure who @Dan is, but assuming you were talking to me...

I'm glad that you're making some progress. But:I'm looking forward to seeing how you're going to make sure that the header and trailer lines will be copied to both of your output files. (The header should be really easy. The trailer is slightly more complicated if you want to do it in your awk script instead of using tail as an extra processing step to grab it from your input file.)
