Hello SkySmart,

Taking some inspiration from S and this could be helpful too on same.
Code:
awk '{gsub(/.*   BUNLOES="|"  #.*/,"");gsub(/mgg/,ORS);print}' RS=""   Input_file

If you want to check like both the strings BUNLOES and mgg are present as like shown Input_file then following additional check we could do and get it done then.
Code:
awk '{n=gsub(/.*   BUNLOES="|"  #.*/,"");n+=gsub(/mgg/,ORS);if(n==4){print}}' RS=""   Input_file

Thanks,
R. Singh

this seems to work, but it doesnt put the numbers in new lines. i get them all in one line:

Code:
time sed -n '/^.*BUNLOES="/{s///;s/".*$//; s/mgg/\n/g;p;}' data.txt

Code:
'269118084457'n'3626086549312632'

i've tried repplacing the
Code:
\n

with
Code:
\\n

but that still didnt work.

We can't see your terminal, nor do we know the versions of your OS, shell, nor sed. So - be creative. Look into your sed's man or info page on how to escape control characters (mine accepts \n for a <new line> char). Try bash's (if avaiable) $'string' mechanism. Try entering CTRL-V CTRL-J at the command line, but don't forget to escape this with a backslash.
If nothing helps, use one of the other proposals.

Hi, SkySmart .

When you ask for that, I think it's important for you to tell us what the class of systems on which you need to run this for portability.

For example, some sed don't seem to run suggested code. So what would be the earliest accepted version of sed that you have available, etc., etc.?

Best wishes ... cheers, drl

Note: the use of \n in the replacement part of the sed's substitute command is a GNU extension.
The absence of a semicolon between p and } is a GNU extension. The use of semicolon p;} is a permitted, but not required extension to the POSIX specification, so even that may not be supported by all implementations.

This (escaped explicit <NL> char) works on FreeBSD (which insists on the ; following p ):
Code:
sed -n '/^.*BUNLOES="/{s///; s/".*$//; s/mgg/\
/g; p; }' file

RudiC's solution above works on my Solaris as well, which I think has non-GNU sed.

Code:
$ 
$ uname -a
SunOS solaris11-3 5.11 11.3 i86pc i386 i86pc
$ 
$ cat -n data.txt

$ 
$ /usr/bin/sed -n '/^.*BUNLOES="/{s///;s/".*$//; s/mgg/\
/g;p;}' data.txt
343433434343
3383028383983
383827173494
$ 
$ /usr/xpg4/bin/sed -n '/^.*BUNLOES="/{s///;s/".*$//; s/mgg/\

343433434343

I agree with drl that the OP should take stock of the systems and tools (s)he will be working with, in order to determine the portability of the solution.
