Need to parse file which returns a block of output and not just that line.
Any direction is greatly appreciated.

Say Input file is of the following format:

NAME: SCAN1
CONDITION: if(....)
and (....)
ACTION: z=2

NAME: SCAN2
CONDITION: if (...)
ACTION: y=5
x=2

NAME: SCAN3
CONDITION: if(.....)
ACTION: x=4
y=2

NAME: SCAN4
CONDITION: if(.....)
ACTION: x=4


Need to write a script which parses the above file and gives me the block of what NAME string was provided.

e.g: If Input SCAN2, output should be :
NAME: SCAN2
CONDITION: if (...)
ACTION: y=5
x=2

Then need to look it so I can pull multiple block of whatever input I provide.

e.g:
SCAN2
SCAN4

provides me with the following output:

NAME: SCAN2
CONDITION: if (...)
ACTION: y=5
x=2

NAME: SCAN4
CONDITION: if(.....)
ACTION: x=4

Hi
Are all your blocks separated by the single blank line . ?

Hi Saurav... Nope. The only common thing is that i need everything from NAME to ACTN that defines a block.

something to start with:
