Try and adapt the following awk program.
steve.awk :
Code:
{
   if (match($0, /\[/) == 0) {
      Lines[++LinesCount] = $0;
      LineIds[LinesCount] = ""
      next;
   }

   id  = substr($0, RSTART);

   if (++Ids[id] == 1) {
      Lines[++LinesCount] = $0;
      LineIds[LinesCount] = id;
   }
}

END {
   for (i=1; i<=LinesCount; i++) {
      print Lines[i];
      if (id = LineIds[i]) {
         if (Ids[id] > 1) {
            print "This Error was reproduced", Ids[id], "times";
         }
      }
   }
}

Execute the awk program :
Code:
awk -f steve.awk logreport
