Hi folks,

I have a file with several thousands lines, consists of several parts of
10-20 lines. One of these 10-20 lines is the date in the format
"DATE:01-Jan-2001"

The first line in each part always starts with "KEY:", and finish with
"<<EOD>>"
I am looking for some way to pull out all 10-20 lines with date
including Jan-2001 into a separat file, and all 10-20 lines including
date Dec-2000 into another file, Nov-2000 into yet another file, and so
on...

Anyone have any clue how to do this?

Here's a [ng]awk approach:
Start saving lines when you see the "KEY:"
Get the proper file for output when you see the "DATE"
Flush the lines when you see "<<EOD>>"

Is it enough of a clue? You'll probably want to use split()
to get the right file name out of the "DATE" line.
