Deleting lines from line 40 to end of the file using korn shell

Hi,

I 'm new to shell script and seems like you answered lot of questions in shell, Please help me to answer this question,

I have a file called temp1.txt, data in this file is

abcd text1 text2 sdksjdj
ands text2 text isudiusd
DELETE D D SDSDS
DELETE D D DFSSDSD

I would like to delete everything after DELETE and put it in a file, everything before DELETE I would like to put it in another file, basically I want to split the data in to two files, is there a way to do this in korn shell?

Please help.
Thanks.
Kondal

This is to put all the lines that start with 'DELETE" in one file (with '.del' suffix) and all the others in the other (with the '.nor).

Save the attached code as 'ky.awk' file and:

nawk -f ky.awk temp1.txt

Code:

BEGIN {
   SUF_delete=".del"
   SUF_normal=".nor"
}
/^DELETE/ { print >> (FILENAME SUF_delete) ; next}
{ print >> (FILENAME SUF_normal) }
