selecting only few lines from many based on a common pattern
Hi,
I have a file having some thousand records with the following sort of lines:

Error: Failed to get order data
Order: PO-BBBTGZE
Error: No CLI
Error: Failed to get order data
Order: PO-SBDJUZA
Order: PO-XBBIDEN
Error: No CLI
Error: Failed to get order data
Order: PO-BBDJUTQ
Order: PO-FBCSPHC
Error: No CLI
Error: Failed to get order data
Order: PO-FLBVKYV
Error: No CLI
Error: Failed to get order data
Order: PO-KBDASSI
Order: PO-HBBGQCE
Error: No CLI
Error: Failed to get order data
Order: PO-RBDDJKT
Order: PO-RBDDJKM
Error: No CLI
Error: Failed to get order data
Order: PO-EBDCFLJ

I wish to only retrieve the lines marked red and none else. i.e. any line with the line after it starting in ERROR is not desired.

Any Directions shall be highly appreciated.
