awk certain rows


Hi,

I have a file like this:

Quote:
ZZ 0.0000800000 1.8669400000 -0.2141500000
O0 -0.0001300000 1.8659400000 1.7686600000
ZZ 1.6189500000 0.9335900000 2.4187200000
O1 1.6191799200 0.9345838600 4.4015399500
ZZ -1.6173400000 4.6683936172 -0.2141500000
O3 -1.6175500000 4.6673936172 1.7686600000
ZZ 0.0015300000 3.7350436172 2.4187200000
O4 0.0017599200 3.7360374772 4.4015399500
ZZ -1.6158900000 6.5364972344 2.4187200000
O5 -1.6156600800 6.5374910944 4.4015399500
ZZ 3.2381300000 1.8669400000 -0.2141500000
O6 3.2379200000 1.8659400000 1.7686600000
I want to pour all the lines that start with "ZZ"in one file and the rest in another. How can I do it with awk?

Try redirection inside the awk code:
Code:
awk '/^ZZ/{print > "ZZ.txt"}!/^ZZ/{print > "others.txt"}' file
