Hi

I think u can use split command, where split reads file and writes it in pieces (default 1000 lines) onto a set of output files.(only ASCII letters are used, a maximum of 676 files).

use man split for more info

Hope this helps.

Hi,
the command "split"can be used, where as this command form files of 1000 lines each.each file ending with o/pfile_nameaa,o/pfile_namebb,...
since you wanted to split according to the format, then the best way is to use "awk"

Hi,

Looking at your 3 files, I'd suggest either awk, although perl would probably be easier and quicker.

Rgds, Robin.

Hi Suryaj,
I will say use Perl.
I don't know what you are taking from one file to another one. Give me more info and I can help in perl.
