split files by specifying a string (bash shell)
Hi all,
I have a file of around 300 lines in which string "SERVER" occurs around 32 times. for eg. Quote:
Quote:
awk '/SERVER/{n++}{print > f n}' f=/vikas/list /vikas/final But the problem is that it makes maximum of 10 files, but I need more than 30. I have tried using nawk, but didnt worked. This cmd is running fine in Linux, But not in Sun OS (Solaris). I am using bash scripting on Sun OS. Any other way of splitting this data ??? Pls help !!! Thanks in adv.

Hi, Well I am explaining it again. I have a file say final.txt, which has some data in it. For e.g. Quote:
As in this case, it may be: Quote:
awk '/SERVER/{n++}{print > f n}' f=/vikas/list /vikas/final But the problem I am facing is that my actual file final.txt is pretty big, which needs to splitted into around 30 files, which is however not being possible by this command, as it can only split upto 10 files at max only. Hope I have made my point clear. Thanks.

Try
Code:
awk '/SERVER/{n++}{print >"out" n ".txt" }' final.txt

Hi All
Hi,
I tried lots of commands including the above ones. They all run fine on Linux machines BUT not on the solaris machines, dont know the reason behind it. Anyways, MANY MANY THANKS to all for your time and help. I found this command to work perfectly. Code:
/usr/xpg4/bin/awk '/SERVER/{n++}{print > f n}' f=/vikas/list /vikas/final
