find and print fields between 1

[enni]

Hi

I've a input file output looks like this;

Record
"bbbb" = "llll"
"aaaa" = "98874"
"cccc" = "ccccc"
"dddd" = "eeeee"
End Record
Record
"bbbb" = "llll"
"aaaa" = "98874"
"cccc" = "ddddd"
"dddd" = "ffff"
End
Record
"bbbb" = "llll"
"aaaa" = "98984"
"cccc" = "ddddd"
"dddd" = "ffff"
End

I need to print out all lines between Record and End Record if "aaaa" field is "98984"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is untested, but might get you started

/^Record/{flg=1;a[++ix]=$0}
flg{a[++ix]=$0;if ($1="\"aaaa\"" && $2!="\"98984\"&quot flg=0}
/^End/ && flg{for (j=1;j<=ix;j++) print a[j]; print; flg=0}

Try something like this:

awk '
/^Record/{ok=0;t=0;next}
/^"aaaa" = "98984"/{ok=1}
/^End/{if(ok)for(i=1;i<=t;++i)print a[i];next}
{a[++t]=$0}
' /path/to/input >/path/to/output

Hope This Help

Thanx Phv
this help me lot. At the moment both Records and End lines will be removed, but i need to know also Records line values, so can you help me out also ???

If you want to keep Record and End sources lines, just suppress the two 'next' at the end of the

/^Record/

and

/^End/

script lines and put the

/^End/

script line at the end (after the

{a[++t]=$0}

line).

&quot;When all else has failed, read the manuals.&quot;
