Help splitting individual mibs

0.o · 09-30-2008, 08:16 AM

Howdy,

I have a master list of mibs in a text file. This text file contains all mibs that are being used on a NMS. It is in the following format:

DMTF-DMI-MIB DEFINITIONS ::= BEGIN

...
...

END
Anothermib ::= BEGIN

...
...

...
END

Where the DMTF-DMI-MIB is the name of the mib and the BEGIN signifies the start of the mib and likewise, end signifies the end of the mib. I would like to split this back out into their own files. How can i select only the lines between BEGIN and END while also spitting it out into the correct file name?

Use GAWK:

Code:

#!/bin/gawk
/:=[[:space:]]*BEGIN/{
  $0 ~ /[[:space:]]*:=/;
  out = $1;
  print > out;
  while (getline) {
    print > out;
    if ($1 == "END") break;
  }
}

Invoked thusly: gawk -f split.awk mib.txt
