52 45 67 23 50
53 123 12 123 445

56 23 345 57 45
57 34 34 76 556
78 34 45 76 345
56 34 567 8889 33

45 23 34 67 89
34 67 90 87 54
12 45 67 54 32
45 678 654 567 8990

Is there a way to look at the first number and if that number is lets say 56 then print that line? also I would need the time stamp to be on the line it prints

22:30:30
50 25 37 45 50
51 22 99 66 83
52 45 67 23 50
53 123 12 123 445
22:30:30
56 23 345 57 45
57 34 34 76 556
78 34 45 76 345
56 34 567 8889 33
22:59:30
45 23 34 67 89
34 67 90 87 54
56 45 67 54 32
45 678 654 567 8990

Try this (untested) awk program

/:/{a=$0}
$1==56{print a &quot; &quot; $0}
