Hi;
I need something like SPLIT, but instead of splitting based on bytes
or lines, I want it to start a new file every time it encounters a
"CREATE TABLE" string.
I am a newbie with command line tools.
Thank you all;
-nat
csplit -k -f section testfile '/CREATE TABLE/' {*}
This should help. -f section makes the split data show up in files
called 'section01', 'section02', etc. -k keeps it from deleting output
files created if an error occurs. 'testfile' is the input file,
'/CREATE TABLE/' is the regular expression used to match and {*} uses
the previous reg. exp. as many times as necessary.
