You can change what you are searching for as the script progresses and change where you write to each time you cycle through your terms



awk 'BEGIN 
result_file = 1;
term_id = 1;
search_terms[1] = "polyketide synthase";
search_terms[2] = "methyltransferase";
search_terms[3] = "oxidoreductase"

$0 ~ search_terms[term_id]
print $0 >> FILENAME "_" result_file;
term_id = term_id + 1;
if (term_id > 3)
result_file = result_file + 1;
term_id = 1

' input_file


This will write to input_file_1, input_file_2...

    You might test the following code, where I split your keywords into an awk array named keys with N elements. everything starts with keys[1] and we set up a flag to check the next 1 to N-1 lines if they matches the corresponding values in the array keys [index from 2 to N], any mismatches before the N-1 line will reset this flag, if it reaches the N-1 line, then all are good for output (we also reset flag=0 here so a consecutive run of flag==1 never exceeds N-1 lines):



    $ cat t24.awk
    BEGIN
    FS = OFS = "t";
    keywords = "polyketide synthase,methyltransferase,oxidoreductase";
    N = split(keywords, keys, ",")


    # flag==1 means we are doing regex_match the next N-1 lines
    # against corresponding array element in keys from [2:N]
    # once a unmatched found, turn off flag immediately
    # if the flag==1 reached N-1 lines, then print the good match
    flag
    if($NF ~ keys[NR - start_line + 1])
    F = F ORS $0;
    if (NR == start_line+N-1) print F > "out_" f++; flag = 0
    next
    else
    flag = 0;



    # set up the flag/start_line and reset F
    $NF ~ keys[1] flag = 1; F = $0; start_line= NR;


    Run the above code with awk -f t24.awk file.txt. You can set up keywords (comma delimited) from your shell(instead of hard-coded in the BEGIN block), and then use -v keywords="..." to make it more flexible.

          You can change what you are searching for as the script progresses and change where you write to each time you cycle through your terms



          awk 'BEGIN 
          result_file = 1;
          term_id = 1;
          search_terms[1] = "polyketide synthase";

          search_terms[3] = "oxidoreductase"

          $0 ~ search_terms[term_id]
          print $0 >> FILENAME "_" result_file;
          term_id = term_id + 1;
          if (term_id > 3)
          result_file = result_file + 1;

              You might test the following code, where I split your keywords into an awk array named keys with N elements. everything starts with keys[1] and we set up a flag to check the next 1 to N-1 lines if they matches the corresponding values in the array keys [index from 2 to N], any mismatches before the N-1 line will reset this flag, if it reaches the N-1 line, then all are good for output (we also reset flag=0 here so a consecutive run of flag==1 never exceeds N-1 lines):



              $ cat t24.awk
              BEGIN
              FS = OFS = "t";
              keywords = "polyketide synthase,methyltransferase,oxidoreductase";
              N = split(keywords, keys, ",")


              # flag==1 means we are doing regex_match the next N-1 lines
              # against corresponding array element in keys from [2:N]
              # once a unmatched found, turn off flag immediately
              # if the flag==1 reached N-1 lines, then print the good match
              flag
              if($NF ~ keys[NR - start_line + 1])
              F = F ORS $0;
              if (NR == start_line+N-1) print F > "out_" f++; flag = 0
              next
              else
              flag = 0;



              # set up the flag/start_line and reset F
              $NF ~ keys[1] flag = 1; F = $0; start_line= NR;


              Run the above code with awk -f t24.awk file.txt. You can set up keywords (comma delimited) from your shell(instead of hard-coded in the BEGIN block), and then use -v keywords="..." to make it more flexible.
