Hi raj,
perl would be faster than bash, but here is a bash script.
-------------------------------------------
SOURCE=$1
F=""
cat $1 | while read line; do
TEST=$(echo $line | grep ".*-.*-.*")
if [ "$TEST" ]; then
echo $line
F=$(echo $line|awk '{print $2.".txt"}')
else
if [ -e "$F" ]; then
echo "$line" >> $F
else
echo "$line" > $F
fi
fi
done
--------------------------------------------------------
Cheers,
kev
