Hi Experts, I would like to seek your assitance in creating a script for the following scenario:
Single file has different entries with carriage return as record separator. Goal is to produce separate file based on date. Each entry has variable number of length.

Can this be achieved using awk? Any input is highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,

Last May, I answered a similar awk question for you which redirects output to a file: http://www.computing.net/answers/un...
Anyway, this should get you started:
#!/bin/ksh awk ' { if($2 == "Dec" || $2 == "Jan") fn="Entries_"$2$3 print $0 >> fn }' data.txt
