mellowtiggerSomeone on Google Plus asked for a quick program. I couldn't format the text properly on G+, so I'm posting it here instead.
Enjoy. :)
# Save this text using Notepad to a file named recordsplit.ps1
# Right-click the new recordsplit.ps1 file, then select "Run with PowerShell"
# If it doesn't run, you need to enable powershell scripts...

# This script separates a text file into other text files, based on the delimiter text.
# Change the first 3 variables as needed.
# If more than 999 records will be used, be sure to change the "D3" in the $newfile to an appropriate digit length ("D4")
$file='P:\ps\CraigFroehle.txt'
$delimiter='{{NEW_RECORD}}*'
$keepdelimiter=$true
$counter = 0
$fileitem = gci $file
foreach ($line in (get-content $file)) {
if ($line -like $delimiter) {
$counter += 1
$newfile = $fileitem.directoryname + '\' + $fileitem.basename + '.' + ("{0:D3}" -f $counter) + $fileitem.extension
set-content -path $newfile -value $null
}
if (($line -ne $null) -and ($line -ne '')) {
if (($keepdelimiter -eq $true) -or ($line -ne $delimiter)) {
add-content -path $newfile -value $line
}
}
}

Enjoy. :)
