Strange Logic

I am trying to read a file and skip few records based upon the following two columns. Pipe delimiter used between the two columns.
Column1|Column2
Property|CutOff
Target|11111
Min|9999
Max|10000
Comment|This is a test
Property|Weight
Target|222
Min|3434
Max|77777
UOM|mm
Comment|This is a test
Property|Temperature
Target|
Min|
Max|
UOM|
Property|Adhesive
Target|4
Min|3
Max|6
UOM|inch

Whenever I find a word "property" in column1, I have to check if column2 contains data in it till the next property word arrives in column1. If column2 does not contain any data for some property in column1 (like in case of the property called Temperature) then I have to skip that Property data and use the next Property data(which is adhesive). Can any one tell me how can I accomplish this challenging logic. I will appreciate any help.
Thanks
