I have a file that looks like this
item1 item2 item3
0 0 1 S 0 0
0 0 2 K 0 0
0 0 23 T 1 M
12 T 24 N 2 L
45 0 36 V 14 I
46 0 38 W 16 R
51 S 39 A 17 L
52 A 42 N 20 E
53 0 43 L 21 G
So, for each item, there are two columns of data. My question is, how might I go about writing new files that only contain the two columns for that particular item (and name each file item1.dat, item2.dat etc.)
So, for example, item1.dat should look like this:
0 0
0 0
0 0
12 T
45 0
46 0
51 S
52 A
53 0
The actual original file is a fair bit larger than this and has more items. All of these items need to have their own files containing their two items of data.
Any advice as to how to get started etc appreciated.
