Is it possible to have a pattern as RS in awk. For Example pl. go through the statement;

"
Account Serial Number: 88888888

TT00X000000XXXXXXXXXXXXX
SS00X000000XX.000,XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0000XXXXXXX0000000000
WW00X0000000XX000000000000MMMMMMM MMMMMMM0000AA11110000000000000000000000000
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
ZZ88##

00000000 ### (XX00/00/00/00/00)0000 UUUUUUUU UUUU UUUUUUU:
<PPPPPPPPPPPPP><>
"

Q1) can i have the RS as ZZ88##? (or only delimeters can be RS)
Q2) if so how to check the pervious lines i.e, i want to get the "UUUUUUUU & AA1111" how to fetch that alone.

replies appreciated.

Yes the GNU Awk, gawk, implementation supports this feature. See the gAwk Manual for splitting records.
