Help me guys, I'm really lost here. I have a big text file, full of links, and I'm trying to separate them based on which website the link belongs. I was trying to do it with the csplit command, but I'm not really sure how I would do it, as it would depend on the text content.
Text example:
www.unix.com/man-page/opensolaris/1/csplit/&hl=en
www.unix.com/shell-programming-and-scripting/126539-csplit-help.html/RK=0/RS=iGOr1SINnK126qZciYPZtBHpEmg-
www.w3cschool.cc/linux/linux-comm-csplit.html
www.linuxdevcenter.com/cmd/cmd.csp?path=c/csplit+"csplit"&hl=en&ct=clnk
So in this example the first two links would be in one file, and the 2 left would be in one file each. How would this work? I really don't have any idea if this is even possible. (novice programmer)
try :
awk 'BEGIN{FS="/"} {print > $1}' [your file name]
output:
cat www.unix.com
www.unix.com/man-page/opensolaris/1/csplit/&hl=en
www.unix.com/shell-programming-and-scripting/126539-csplit-help.html/RK=0/RS=iGOr1SINnK126qZciYPZtBHpEmg-
cat www.linuxdevcenter.com
www.linuxdevcenter.com/cmd/cmd.csp?path=c/csplit+"csplit"&hl=en&ct=clnk
cat www.w3cschool.cc
www.w3cschool.cc/linux/linux-comm-csplit.html
{print > $1} will redirect output to separate files based on $1, in this case, the domain name.
