something to start with.

Code:
nawk -v RS='*' '$0 != "" {a[++fnr]=$0} END {printf("%s", a[fnr-1])}' myFile.txt

if you have 'gawk' on your system, try it instead of 'nawk'

I don't have gawk on my system. I am using sun OS.

But I am tring the below, which is not working either

awk '{
if( $1 == "**********************************" )
{
n=split($2,arr,">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>");
file=arr[n-1] ".txt"
}
print file }' $HOME/tmp/xxxxx.log
