CPU & Memory Expected output

Expected output:

In a text file:

Parent1
child1
child2

parent2
child21
child22
child23

parent3

child31
child32
....

***************************************

In the file 'a' and 'b' are the identifiers for the parent and children.

Thanks to you.

I thought of doing something like:

step 1: Grep for parents and then after I get the list of parents {may be in an array}

step 2: I can grep for children with a condition which checks if I hit the first parent from the previously obtained list. When I hit the first parent then save the child list to a text file with the parent name on it.

step 3: Again proceed for the next ones by keeping every thing in a for loop and update the text file every time.


If this algorithm sounds good then the point I am stuck with is step 2.

can you help me out there/ or with any other alternative way.
