Hi
[ul]
[li]You not specified if there could be other lines between the line containing Tape_Pool_name and the first blank line. If such lines exists, this code ignores them.[/li]
[li]You not specified if a file could have more than one such sections. This code prints all of them.[/li]
[/ul]

awk '/Tape_Pool_name/{f=1}f&&!$0{f=(f+1)%3}f==2&&$0' /input/file

Tested with [tt]gawk[/tt] and [tt]mawk[/tt].
