help with agrep or awk delimited by |~| in a record

I have a file which contains 1 million records of the following format. Each field is delimited by a pipe tilda pipe "|~|" show below. I would like to print only one column ie the CARDDESC value.

for example here it says CARDDESC=A8T1.
so anything after CARDDESC= and before |~|CARDTYPE is what I would like to get from this record and ignore everything else.

In other words the value between CARDDESC= and |~|CARDTYPE which in the following example is A8T1 is what I need to know.

Any help is really appreciated. if my question is not clear please let me know I will try to phrase it in a better way.

Each filed is delimited by |~| that is for sure through out the file. so even if I can get CARDDESC=A8T1 I am happy.

RECORD=NEW|~|NAME=SCO|~|MODEL=8220|~|WORK=ATM|~|SUBNET=ATM|~|SITE=RKS|~|REGION=NORTH A|~|COUNTRY=US|~
|SWITCH=FAX2|~|ETHERNET=1.4.1.1|~|LOOPB=N/A|~|SHELF=N/A|~|SLOT=12|~|SUBSLOT=N/A|~|STSCHAN=N/A|~|PORT=8|~|DS1SLOT=0|~|LINE=1|~|LPORTID=0|~|C
ARDDESC=A8T1|~|CARDTYPE=0|~|ENCAPSULATION=N/A|~|BUNDLEID=0|~|PORTUSE=N/A|~|STATUS=T|~|MANAGED=YES|~|BILLINGID=N/A|~|CKTID=W86|~|CKTIP=1.0.0.1
