I'm trying to grep for two things out of a file and I got that working but why is it randomly throwing "--" in the output? Is there a simple way to get rid of them? It only seems to do it when the line above what im looking for has numbers in it.

My files look like this
I need to remove the columns where dashes are the majority, if any of the sequences has any character in that particular position it should be removed too. The IDs and Freqs should be kept intact. Thus, the resulting file should look like this

nrports
NRPORTS(5) Linux Programmer's Manual NRPORTS(5)NAME
nrports - NET/ROM port configuration file.
DESCRIPTION
Nrports is an ASCII file that contains information about each of the NET/ROM ports that are to be used. When dealing with an NET/ROM util-
ity such as call, it takes an optional argument that is the port name. This port name is a reference to the line within nrports, which has
the same name. The information on each line contains enough information to bind the command to a particular NET/ROM interface, this binding
is done by matching the callsign on the line in nrports with the callsign of the port set by ifconfig.
The nrports file may contain comments that begin with a # in the first column, or a port description in the following format, each field
being delimited by white space:
name callsign alias paclen description
The field descriptions are:
name this is the unique NET/ROM port identifier.
callsign the callsign of the NET/ROM interface to bind to.
alias this is the alias of the NET/ROM port.
paclen is the default packet size for this interface.
description a free format description of this interface, this field extends to the end of the line. It may contain spaces.
