Break one file into multiple

[preethib]

Hi,

I have a file in the following format. I want to break the file into seperate files based on [Local], [Global]...... These separators are predefined.
I tried getting line number for the variables using awk. But did not work.

regards,


[Local]
JDoe12345,John Doe,,Product Division - Materials,,simon,,ukuser
HDoe32456,Harry Doe,,sales Division - Materials,motif,,,usauser
.
.
#All the above lines should be output to a file

[Global]
LDoe12345,Larry Doe,august,Product Division - spares,,,,reguser
KDoe32456,Karen Doe,,Product Division - spares,,,all,usauser
..
#All the above lines from [Global] should be output to a different file

[Network]
similar to above
..

#All the above lines from [Network] should be output to a different file

If you look unde the "unixadmin" post on this page you
will find a pattern matching script that will
allow you to do what you want.

I haven't found the marsd post ...

A possible solution :

$1 ~ /^\[.*\]/ {
PrvSep = Sep ;
sub("\[.*\].*","&",$1) ;
Sep=substr($0,2,length($1)-2) ;
FicSep = "./" Sep ".txt" ;
if (PrvSep != "&quot close(FicSep) ;
next ;
}
FicSep != "" {
print $0 > FicSep ;
}

Aigles,
Krunek and you yourself posted a pat matching script
that divided a file into body:header pairs under the
query posted by "unixadmin". on this page.
if you redirect the body under each query header to a
separate file, this should work for this problem.
