Hello List! Through many pains I got the text file with some data and for plotting purposes I need to separate it into files... with minimal knowledge on bash scripting I was thinking maybe you could help me to figure that out... (I tried to sort that out by hand, but then realised it will probably take a month...) I have special lines in my text file so, I'd love to be able to script something like this read through lines if come to the string "bla bla bla"{ take the number after ": " on that string and put in file named "something"... } Maybe any references where I can read that, without going through "bash scripting for dummies"? :) Thanks in advance and sorry for offtop.
