Sort-continue!

Dear matrixmadhan

I still have issue due to unconventional data file:

Sometimes: it has more than 3 lines; it could be 4 or 5 line after the first line.

Is there a way that we can pick up the subline (three line down but to the last line before M 47) for example the data below:

ct=$(($subline + 3))

M 47 HIS:LOT 32 DUTY 2 MIKE, FINISHED
MIKE ACTIVE STATUS
47TASK YES GOOD
100TASK NO GOOD
My 4 th LINE
MY 5 th LINE

M 47 HIS:LOT 1 DUTY 1 MIKE, FINISHED
MIKE ACTIVE STATUS
24TASK YES GOOD
100TASK NO GOOD

M 47 HIS:LOT 59 DUTY 2 MIKE, FINISHED
MIKE ACTIVE STATUS
123TASK YES GOOD
100TASK NO GOOD
My 4 th LINE
MY 5 th LINE
My 6 th LINE

Also I want to save the data to the new file (filename2); I tried:

echo "" > filename2

I got a empty file.

Please advise! Many thanks!
