Saw a question about splitting a file that had repeating data blocks.
Each block starts with HOST so the code to split becomes:
$fnum = 1
Get-Content -Path C:\test\Data.txt |
ForEach-Object -Process {
if ($_ -like ‘HOST*’) {
$file = “C:\test\outdata{0:00}.txt” -f $fnum
$fnum ++
}
Add-Content -Path $file -Value $_
}
Initialise a counter variable $fnum
Get the file content and for each line test if it starts with HOST. If so create a new file name by using the format operator to substitute $fnum into the file path. {0:00} means put $fnum into the filed and ensure that its 2 digits so outdata01.txt instead of outdata1.txt. Increment $fnum
Write the line to the file.
