searching and storing unknown number of lines based on the string with a condition

Dear friends, Please help me to resolve the problem below,

I have a file with following content:


date of file creation : 12 feb 2007
====================
= name : suresh
= city :mumbai
#this is a blank line
= date : 1st Nov 2005
====================
few lines of some text
this text could be of any number of lines
====================
= code : 10
= time : 10AM
= job : dev
====================


====================
= name : mahesh
= city :Bangalore
#this is a blank line
= date : 1st april 2005
====================
few lines of some text
this text could be of any number of lines
====================
= code : 0
= time : 11AM
= job : test
====================


====================
= name : Girish
= city :Pune
#this is a blank line
= date : 4april 2005
====================
few lines of some text
this text could be of any number of lines
====================
= code : 15
= time : 12AM
= job : support
====================


#end of file



in the above data, it contains 3 records(marked using blue, green and magenta colours).
now the problem is, I need to store all the line of a record which is having the "=code : 10" in a file file_10
and
"=code : 15" in a file file_15.
and
if the "=code : 0" then I need to ignore that record and continure with next record till the end of file.

Please help me.

thanks in advance,
swamymns
