      Hi,

      Could you please assist me with the ‘C’ code for the following :-

      I have a file called Test.txt.

      I) Test.txt



      A,BC,DE,HI,00,11
      A,DE,HI,JK,23,24
      A,XX,YY,YU,40,95
      B,CD,EF,GH,11,22
      B,JJ,KK,JU,45,89

      C,EF,GH,IJ,77,88
      D,EF,GH,IJ,33,44
      D,FG,HI,JK,44,55

      Need to read the first column of the file and create files such that for each change in the first column, a new file is created with the filename as first column.ref.

      That is for above file, 4 Files are created as each time the first column changes, a new file is created. The 4 files generated are as follows:-
