Text file splitting in multiple files by content in Powershell

Question

i\'m reading a lot of threads - but nothing for me personal. I need to split text file in the following form:

---------------------  Instance Type and Transm         


        

Answer 1

Something like this should work:

$InputFile = "c:\path\myfiletosplit.txt"
$Reader = New-Object System.IO.StreamReader($InputFile)
$a = 1
While (($Line = $Reader.ReadLine()) -ne $null) {
    If ($Line -match "---------------------  Instance Type and Transmission --------------") {
        $OutputFile = "MySplittedFileNumber$a.txt"
        $a++
    }    
    Add-Content $OutputFile $Line
}

or whitout .net class:

$a = 1
gc "c:\path\myfiletosplit.txt" | % {    
    If ($_ -match "---------------------  Instance Type and Transmission --------------") {
        $OutputFile = "MySplittedFileNumber$a.txt"
        $a++
    }    
    Add-Content $OutputFile $_
}
