Network Split text file by pages
Hello!

Firts of all, I'm sorry for my English.

My problem:

I have text file with few Form Feed symbols (FF, ASCII code =12) inside (for example - some report, consists of some pages for
printing).

I want to split this text by pages - each page (until FF symbol)
in single file.

I suppose to use UNIX command <csplit>. Am I right?

But I don't know, how can I pass control symbol string as parameter to this command :-(

Help, please!

Usually the form feed is denoted in unix with "^L". In this case you could do something like:

csplit input_file '/^L/' '{*}'


You can produce the ^L character by typing Ctrl-v Ctrl-L on your keyboard.

MySQL THANK YOU VERY MACH !!!
Thanks!

It works!

My mistake was that I tried to use construction '\f' as
parameter (It seems to me, that I don't understand correctly the meaning of such metasymbols - Is that true?)

You advice was very important for me, THANKS!

I will be happy to help You in Your problems, if You have them Smilie
My specialisation - Oreacle & SQL.

Best wishes to You!
