AWK Script Problem

[dcmedic]

I have an AWK script that prompts the user for a word or phrase in a text file that includes the U.S. Constitution. The awk script can find and print each individual line that ontains the word or phrase. But I also need to print the entire paragraph...which is what I am having problems with.

this works for printing one line:

awk --assignIGNORECASE=1 '{if(/'"$words"'/&&/^Clause/){print $0}' usconst.txt

The paragraph must begin with the word "Clause"

How do I print the entire paragraph?

awk --assign IGNORECASE=1 --assign WORD="$words" -f PrintClause.awk usconst.txt

PrintClause.awk :

/^Clause/ {
if (Found) {
for (i=1; i<=LineCnt ; i++)
print Line
}
Found = 0
LineCnt = 0
}

$0 ~ WORD {
Found = 1
}

{
Line[++LineCnt] = $0
}
