urgent help need with file matching script
hi,

Please help me!. I need a script that can read
the incoming text (say from a text file) and match few templates.

templates will look like

template 1

city Name:
zip code:
state Name:

template2:

employee Name:
Phone number:


my text file will look like

city Name: Harrison
zip code: 07029
state Name: NJ

here only one city name, zip code & state name will be present.

my script should find if the given text is compliant with template1 or template2...

I appreciate your time and help

I have not started the script, I am looking for good iterative process that can handle this search process. I have few ideas

1) Grep for all variables (city name ..zip code etc..) in the given file,collect them and match them to each template .

2) formulate a general expression for a whole line and loop it till the end of the file.

I am looking for a good logic to start off.
