I have the following data that I need output on a single line, but record spans across multilple lines and records are not "together". Example would be tom below, record "tom" below is on 4 different lines, but I only need data from 2 of the lines, I will also need the same info for pat, tim, and tad, or whoever else has a record like the format below.

Code:

2008   fl01   LAC   2589   polk   doal
xx 2008q1 mx
     sect 25698541

     Sales 08 Dept group

        lead1    2008q1
        tom
        pat
        tim
        tad

        lead1  07q4   07q3   07q2   07q1   06q4   06q3   jan
        tom    0      96     0      3312   3624   0      312
        pat    0      17     0      0      30     0      30
        tim    357    03     04     25     3020   3120   20
        tad    1734   0      0      0      5213   5213   0

        lead1  feb    mar    apr    may    jun    jul    aug
        tom    0      96     0      0      0      0      0
        pat    0      17     0      0      0      0      0
        tim    357    23     5      7      8      14     70
        tad    1734   0      0      0      0      0      0

        tad    0      0      672    0

I needed the following output:

Code:

lead1   07q4    07q1    06q4    06q3    sept    oct     nov
tim	357	25	3020	3120	0	21	1800 
tad	1734	0	5213	5213	0	0	672

Is there a awk solution to this??
