Hi All,
I wanted to split a big file based on the value of the first column of thsi file
file 1 (atest.dat).1 ah1 251 ah2 26
4 ah5 354 ah6 362 ah2 54
I want to split this file into three files based on the first column
file 1 will be
1 ah1 25 1 ah2 26
file 2 would be 4 ah5 35 4 ah6 36
file three would be 2 ah2 54
The range of the first column could vary from 1 up to 100.
I trad the following script
################################################
#! bin/bash
numb=($(seq 1 1 10))
for i in "address@hidden"
do
awk '{if($1=='"${i}"') print $0}' atest.dat > numb${i}.txt
done
#################################################
The above script gave me 10 files while I was expecting only 3 files.
How do I limit to get only the three files that do have data in atest.dat file?
Thank you
