You can use a batch file, but why not just use the FINDSTR command ?

findstr /R "^abc1-" sample.txt > file1.txt
findstr /R "^xyz2-" sample.txt > file2.txt
findstr /R "^xyz3-" sample.txt > file3.txt

It may help - it will split the text into separate files

abc1.txt
xyz2.txt
xyz3.txt

@echo off
for /f "tokens=1,* delims=-" %%a in ('type "file.txt"') do (
>>"%%a.txt" echo(%%a-%%b
)
pause

Use the cgwin SPLIT command.
