Retrieve many entries using awk
Hi all

I have a problem similar to someone else while getting output using awk and retrieving certain entries.

From the attached sample file of big file I have to retreive following headings in columns from each drug card as there are many drug cards..

# Drug_Target_.*_Gene_Name

# Brand_Name

# Generic_Name

# Drug_Type

# Indication

#Mechanism_ Of_ Action


Using below code, my output is a bit random and wired even though some part are correct as mehanism keep on repeating agian and again

some time starts with the next line rather than being fit in columns

Brand name keep going wrong sometime!!

I am trying to retreive

Code:
awk 'k>0 {if (a[k] && k==2) {print a[1]":"a[2]":"a[3]":"a[4]":"a[5]":"a]6]; a[1]=a[2]=a[3]=a[4]=a[5]=a[6]"";} a[k]=a[k]?a[k]","$0:$0; k=0;} /^# / {k=1;} /^# Generic/ {k=1;} /^# Brand_Name/ {k=2;}  /^# Drug_Type/ {k=3;} /^# Indication/ {k=5;} /^# Mechanism_ Of_ Action / {k=6;} END {if (a[1]) print a[1]":"a[2]":"a[3]":"a[4]":"a[5]":"a[6];}' drugbank.txt >drugbanknew.txt

Can anybody check my code in his/her system and let me know wrong things ?High thanks
