aismann · #1 (**permalink**) 10-20-2008

Dear experts,

Ive been trying to figure this out for a while, but i cant. Please help.
I have a file, with approx 1 million lines. The contents are separated with "----------". Please see example below

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
M-GET CONFIRMATION (
INVOKE IDENTIFIER 346,
LINKED IDENTIFIER 1,
MANAGED OBJECT CLASS alarmRecord,
MANAGED OBJECT INSTANCE {
logId = string : "AIALARM",
logRecordId = number : 341862
},
CURRENT TIME "20080626105012",
ATTRIBUTE LIST {
objectClass alarmRecord,
nameBinding logRecord-log,
managedObjectClass sypObjMAL,
managedObjectInstance { sypAlarmObjectId = "MAL" },

packages {

GAAGDA1C.additionalInformationPackage, eventTimePackage
},
probableCause SAXBAA0C.lossOfSignal,

additionalInformation {

}
}
}
)

So my problem is, i need to find all texts that have the keyword "GAA", but i need to see everything that is between the --------- lines. Desperatedly need a script to do this. Any help is appreciated. Thanks !
