Edit Question
Title
Body
I hope the subject is clear enough, I haven't found anything specifically about this in the previously asked bin. I've tried implementing this in Perl or Python, but I think I may be trying too hard. Is there a simple shell command / pipeline that will split my 4mb .txt file into seperate .txt files, based on a beginning and ending regex? I provide a short sample of the file below.. so you can see that every "story" starts with the phrase "X of XXX DOCUMENTS", which could be used to split the file. I think this should be easy and I'd be surprised if bash can't do it - faster than Perl/Py. Here it is: 1 of 999 DOCUMENTS Copyright 2011 Virginian-Pilot Companies LLC All Rights Reserved The Virginian-Pilot(Norfolk, VA.) ... 3 of 999 DOCUMENTS Copyright 2011 Canwest News Service All Rights Reserved Canwest News Service ... Thanks in advance for all your help. Ross
