From: Rocky Jr. on 9 May 2010 16:40 My data file ---- zone "data1.txt" { type gb2; file "/nas/data1.txt"; }; zone "delta.doc" { type gb2; file "/nas/delta.doc"; }; zone "meta.exe" { type gb2; file "/nas/meta.exe"; }; ---- I need to select text between zone and }; so I wrote awk '/^zone/, /^};$/' input.file This works great and but I need to store selected data in file called delta.doc or meta.exe, in short select the following and store to data1.txt: zone "data1.txt" { type gb2; file "/nas/data1.txt"; }; The file has over 100s of entry and I need to create 100 new files from a single file. How do I ask awk to select data1.txt from 'zone "data1.txt"' ?

How do I ask awk to select data1.txt from 'zone > "data1.txt"' ? I suppose it would be as good for your task to not only select a single block but create the files in one pass? Then try... awk 'BEGIN { c=1 ; f="f"c } /^zone/, /^};$/ { print > f } !NF { close(f) ; f="f"++c }' which will create files f1..f100 from the respective blocks. Janis

It is working as {f1..f100}. Is there any way we can replace f1 with actual name such as data1.txt ans so on?
