===================
I want to read selected data from this file.

for e.g.

Business
Objectives

and then the next one is:
How will it be determined that the business objectives have been
satisfied?

but if you see Business Objectives is in 2 lines.
I want to read data between Business Objectives and
next record which is: How will it be determined that the business objectives have been
satisfied?


The problem is Business Objectives is split in 2 lines.
I tried following code but it gets the pattern line also which i don't want.

#/Objectives/ , /^$/ {next; print}
#/Priority:/ {print $2}
#/satisfied?/ , /^$/ {print}
#/Author/{print $2 " " $3}
#/Creation Date/{print $6}

Please help how can i do this task. This is rather urgent. Please help as soon as possible.

Thanks

{ if (mark >1) print; }
/^business/{ mark = 1; next; }
/^Objective/{ if(!mark) next;
mark = 2;
printf("Business\nObjectives\n"
next; }

/^How ..../{ mark = 0; next; } vox clamantis in deserto.

Hi Jamisar,

It still quite is not working, I tried your logic and used the following lines of code
{ if (mark >1) print ; }
/Priority:/ {print $2}
#/satisfied?/ , /^$/ {print}

/^Business/{ mark = 1; next; }
/^Objectives/{ if(!mark) next;
mark = 2;
next; }

/^How will it be determined that the business objectives have been /{ mark = 0;next; }
/^satisfied?/{ mark = 2;}

#/^Who will be responsible for performing the /{ mark = 0;next;}
/^measurements?/{ mark = 2;}

/^What are the requirements for this /{ mark = 0;next;}
/^request? /{ mark = 2; } /Author/{print $2 " " $3}
/Creation Date/{print $6}

So the output is
Medium

so you can see that it still prints the line fo next heading as the mark is not set till that time.

Also I wanted the output to be appended toa string.

Also is there a way to print records from current row till first blank line.

Your help is highly appreciated.

Thanks
