Split one file into seperate files 1

[rneve]

Hi,

I'm looking for a script the can split a file (example below) into seperate file. The parts that should be in the seperate files are the lines between the "----" lines.
I don't know how to do that... Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Sample file:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
LABEL: CONSOLE
IDENTIFIER: 7F88E76D

Date/Time: Sun Mar 9 09:28:21 NFT 2008
Sequence Number: 19759
Machine Id: 00C4DA704C00
Node Id: nlchv3xmn001
Class: S
Type: PERM
Resource Name: console

Description
SOFTWARE PROGRAM ERROR
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
LABEL: CONSOLE
IDENTIFIER: 7F88E76D

Or, if the records have variable lengths:

awk -v n=0 '
        /^---/ { close("file" n++) ; next }
        { print >> "file" n }
' inputfile

Will create file1, file2, file3 ....
