splitting the file

Hi ,

I have one file which has many headers.
Say suppose
HEDAER
..data DATA DATA
..data
..data
HEADER
..data
..data
DATA
.data
HEADER.
..data
..data
If there are 3 HEADERS in source file then I need to split the source file into 3 separate file. And the file has some white spaces(actually its a flatfile)
So when spliiting the file I need to get the white spaces even.
Below is the script I wrote, but this does not recognise whitespaces. It wud b great if someone helps me with this.

Code is :

#!/bin/ksh -xv 
publish() 
{ 
typeset srcfile=$1 
typeset splitfile=`basename $srcfile` 
echo abc 
echo $splitfile 
typeset -i cnt=0 
typeset line="" 
echo $splitfile 
#awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){printf("%s\n\n", $i)}}' $srcfile 
#exec  3>/home/tmp/${splitfile}.part${cnt}                 # define our output file 
cat $srcfile | while read line ; do 
#awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){printf("%s\n\n", $i)}}' $srcfile 
   if [ $(print - "$line" | grep -c "\HEADER") -gt 0 ] ; then 
                                          # the splitter to the old output 
        exec 3>&-                         # close output 
        (( cnt += 1 )) 
        exec  3>/home/tmp/${splitfile}.part${cnt}      # open  the next part 
        print -u3 "${line##^*HEADER}"        # output part of line  after the 
                                          # occurence of the splitter 
   else                                   # this is a regular line,  just print 
        print -u3 "$line" 
   fi 
done 
exec 3>&-                                   # close last output file 
} 

publish  /home/eu_shipment_confirm.in.20090203070237 
exit 0
