String searching and output to a file in a formatted text
Hi,
I'm very new to UNIX scripting and find quite difficult to understand simple UNIX syntax. Really appreciat if somebody could help me to give simple codes for my below problems:-

1) I need to search for a string "TTOH 8031950001" in a files which filename will be "*host*'. For example, the string I searceh found in below line:-

<Jun 30, 2010 5:06:59 PM GMT+08:00> <DEBUG> <MessageFormatter> {F5380112-1890-3589-1A9E-7F135D382013} sending [ CAMSTTOH TTOH 8031950001 53020001706590000 000001 6 009 21403500125671 ENG AUN CHAN Y 00257600006 ENG AUN CHAN 3445456567 ANANDA KRISHNAN N 100002322 20100630 N N 000000000200000 000000000000200 000000000200200 10125 CAMS21301000007960 10063002024620002 N 000000000000000 ]
(Please consider above is in a single line)

2) The line is too long. I just need Item in the position 2 to 14, Items in {}, sending until end of line.
Jun 30, 2010 F5380112-1890-3589-1A9E-7F135D382013 sending [ CAMSTTOH TTOH 8031950001 53020001706590000 000001 6 009 21403500125671 ENG AUN CHAN Y 00257600006 ENG AUN CHAN 3445456567 ANANDA KRISHNAN N 100002322 20100630 N N 000000000200000 000000000000200 000000000200200 10125 CAMS21301000007960 10063002024620002 N 000000000000000 ]

Then, it will be in a formatted text file.

Anyone can help to come out with a script?
Thanks in advance..Smilie

Note:-
1)I attached sample of files to be search - batch-host.log.6
2)I attached sample expected output file.
