Grep and Awk Question

[beaster]

I have a file which has text like below in it:

A2/APT "BH2BSC2 D000000" 647 020613 0819
DIGITAL PATH FAULT SUPERVISION

DIP DIPEND FAULT SECTION HG DATE TIME
58RBLT ALL1 020613 081920

I want to search or grep for DIGITAL PATH FAULT SUPERVISION in the file and then redirect the output to another file called beaster1 so I only end up with:

58RBLT ALL1

Basically I want to look for the DIGITAL PATH FAULT SUPERVISION words, then only redirect the words under DIP and FAULT to a new file like above......

Thanks a bunch!

Hi Beaster,

This seems to work with the data you gave and should get you started for more general data.

{
  if ($0 == "DIGITAL PATH FAULT SUPERVISION") {
    flg = 1
  }
  else if (flg == 1 && $1 == "DIP"){
    flg = 2
    k = index($0,"FAULT")
  }
  else if (flg == 2) {
    print $1 " " substr($0,k,6)
    flg = 0
  }
}

Hope this helps. CaKiwi

That looks great,
I have it working since this post using :

fgrep -f dip_faults nv1bsc1_stripped1 > beaster1

awk '
{
printf("%s %s\n", $1, $2)
} ' < beaster1 >> nv1bsc1_stripped2

rm beaster1

I will know in ten minutes if it succeeds well enough to use....
