Script help:

Hi ,
I have file wherein i search for particular pattern using grep command and from then i want to read next lines until i get another pattern.for ex my file looks like: here i want to grep for "tom.shared" once it is found read next lines just below until i get another pattern say "tom.common".
There may so many lines above the tom.shared and and below tom.common.Just dont want to read entire file.Is it possible to store strings which are in double-quotes and they are separted by coma while reading line from file.


tom.shared
abc="/tmp/lib/kk.jar","/tmp/usr/kl.jar"
ggh="/tmp/etc/hj.jar","/tmp/usr/kl.jar"

tom.common
abc="/tmp/lib/kk.jar","/tmp/usr/kl.jar"
ggh="/tmp/etc/hj.jar","/tmp/usr/kl.jar"

Any help is apperciated.
Thanks in advance
