[Qgis-user] Splitting file into multiple csv files

[Zoltan Szecsei]

Hi,
Can't test this now, and am a very novice awk user, but if column 3 was 
_not_ sorted, would only the last contiguous set of records be in the 
output file(s)?
In other words, when does awk close the output file, and would '>>' be 
safer than '>' ?

Regards,
Zoltan
