OK, so my problem is I have a text file with all of these instances, for example 5000 facts about animals. I need to go through the file and put all of the facts (lines) that contain the word lion into a file called lion.txt. If I come across an animal or other word for which a file does not yet exist I need to create a file for that word and put all instances of that word into that file. I realize that this should probably create 30,000 files or so. Any help would be REALLY appreciated. Thanks. Reece
