Hi,
I have a master file that i need to split into multiple files based on matched patterns. sample of my data as follows:-
scaff_1 a e 123 130 c_scaff_100
scaff_1 a e 132 138 c_scaff_101
scaff_1 a e 140 150 c_scaff_102
scaff_2 a e 151 160 c_scaff_109
scaff_2 a e 181 200 c_scaff_110
scaff_2 a e 223 230 c_scaff_120
scaff_3 a e 323 340 c_scaff_200
scaff_3 a e 352 359 c_scaff_201
scaff_3 a e 390 430 c_scaff_203
i want the result to be generated in 3 different files (based on my input) and the output should look like this:-
scaffR1
scaff_1 a e 123 130 c_scaff_100
scaff_1 a e 132 138 c_scaff_101
scaff_1 a e 140 150 c_scaff_102
scaffR2
scaff_2 a e 151 160 c_scaff_109
scaff_2 a e 181 200 c_scaff_110
scaff_2 a e 223 230 c_scaff_120
scaffR3
scaff_3 a e 323 340 c_scaff_200
scaff_3 a e 352 359 c_scaff_201
scaff_3 a e 390 430 c_scaff_203
i had tried 2 methods as follows:-
1)
awk '/^scaff_/{close("scaffR"f); f++}{print $0 >"scaffR" f}' data.txt
2)
grep '\bscaff_1\b' data.txt > scaffR1.txt
But both did not really give me the result as i expected. The first one save each line to a new file. the second one group them but requires me to do it manually.
would appreciate kind help on this. Thanks..
