Please help me with the following shell script
 

Hello,
I'm not too good with shell scripts yet, and having a hard time with the following task:
I need to write a script that separates even and odd lines in a file and then writes them in two different files.
Any help is apriciated, thanks in advance.

A quick google search of...
bash separate odd and even lines

the first hit being this webpage...
http://bash.cyberciti.biz/academic/w...ven-line-file/

Which is one method

This certainly sounds like homework....

Tell us more about why you need to do this, and show what you have tried.

One tool to look into is SED---it has the ability to take action based on line #. Really good tutorial here: http://www.grymoire.com/Unix/Sed.html

Did you try using SED. Google for it and you will find tons of ways in which you can use it to achieve what you want.
:)
