Split file into multiple files based on empty lines

UNIX for Beginners Q & A
1

I am using below code to split files based on blank lines but it does not work.

awk 'BEGIN{i=0}{RS="";}{x="F"++i;}{print > x;}'

Your help would be highly appreciated

find attachment of sample.txt file

Remove the DOS <CR> line terminators first

tr -d '\r' < /tmp/sample.txt  | ...

, and then it should fly, piping the result into

... awk '{print > ("FILE" ++CNT)}' RS=""
