You are right, it only works with the Solaris /usr/xpg4/bin/awk :-(

Firstly, thanks everyone for their responses. Cheers for the perl solution, unfortunately to answer your question, I'm not ok with perl (can never get my head round it!!).

I'm working on Centos 5, and my awk is GNU Awk 3.1.5, which I'm pleased to say seems to work with RudiC's suggestion:

Code:
awk     'match ($0, /tarted on/)       {C++; X=substr ($0, RSTART+RLENGTH,10); gsub (/^.*<|>.*$/, "", X)}
         match ($0, /MEMLIMIT/)         {C++; Y=substr ($0, RSTART+RLENGTH,10); gsub (/^ |[^kMG]*$/, "", Y)}
         match ($0, /MEM:/)             {C++; Z=substr ($0, RSTART+RLENGTH,10);  sub (/[bB].*$/, "", Z)}
         C >=2                          {printf "Started: %s MEMLIMIT: %6s MEM: %6s\n", X, Y, Z}
                                        {C=X=Y=Z=0}
        ' file.test | head

Brilliant, thanks very much!
