extract blocks of text from a file

Hi,
This is part of a large text file I need to separate out.
I'd like some help to build a shell script that will extract the text between sets of dashed lines, write that to a new file using the whole or part of the first text string as the new file name, then move on to the next one and repeat.
The amount of text between the dashes is variable - might be just a couple of lines of text or many lines.
There's one line of space between the dashed line and the first line of text.
Doesn't matter to me if the new output file contains the dashes or not.
It would be nice to flag the ones with "No errors found" by appending that to the filename also, but not necessary.
Thanks!
