Hi all,

I have a file of around 300 lines in which string "SERVER" occurs around 32 times.

for eg.
I need to split files like, for eg

I am using this code
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 (Solari.
I am using bash scripting on Sun OS.


Any other way of splitting this data ???

Pls help !!!

Thanks in adv.
Regards,
Vikas

I'm not sure if I understood your problem, can you explain it little bit..

Hi,

Well I am explaining it again.
I have a file say final.txt, which has some data in it.

For e.g.
Now, I need to split this file, by matching a string SERVER such than I have three files list1, list2, list3.

As in this case, it may be:

Now, I know the command to split this file final.txt i.e.
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

It will read input from final.txt and produced out1.txt, out2.txt... out30.txt
