is there a one liner to split this file into 2 files temp1.hex
containing

and temp2.hex having

Probably there is. But unless you tell us the criteria for _where_ to split
it's everyone's guess as what the algorithm is supposed to do.
- split after a given value 5F?
- split before a given value C3?
- split after 2 lines?
- split between given values 5F and C3?
- split one line after a given value 4A?
- ....

In any case, did you check the standard program split? Maybe it already does
what you are looking for.
