You can try to use
awk.
Create the following awk script
uniq.awk :
Code:
/^end:/ {
if (! (Record in Records)) {
Records[Record];
print RecordLabel ":";
print Record;
print $0;
Record = "";
}
next;
}
$1 ~ /^.*:/ {
sub(/:.*/, "", $1);
RecordLabel = $1;
next;
}
{
Record = (Record ? Record "\n" : "") $0;
}
and execute it :
Code:
$ awk -f uniq.awk filename
record1:
this is testing
my id is 2001
end:
record2:
this is testing2
my id is 2002
end:
record3:
this is testing
my id is 2002
end:
