extract set of matching records

i have a pipe delimited file with records spread in many lines.
i need to extract those records
1)having X in beginning of that record

2)and having at least one Y in beginning before other record begins

eg:
X|Rec1|
A|Rec1|
Y|Rec1|

X|Rec2|
Y|Rec2|

Z|Rec3|

X|Rec4|
M|Rec4|

X|Rec5|

so, lines Rec1,Rec2 have to be in out.DAT and Rec3,Rec4,Rec5 in err.DAT
thanks.

NAME
tre-agrep - print lines approximately matching a pattern SYNOPSIS
tre-agrep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]... DESCRIPTION
Searches for approximate matches of PATTERN in each FILE or standard input. Example: `tre-agrep -2 optimize foo.txt' outputs all lines in file `foo.txt' that match "optimize" within two errors. E.g. lines which contain "optimise", "optmise", and "opitmize" all match. OPTIONS
Regexp selection and interpretation: -e PATTERN, --regexp=PATTERN Use PATTERN as a regular expression; useful to protect patterns beginning with -. -i, --ignore-case Ignore case distinctions (as defined by the current locale) in PATTERN and input files. -k, --literal Treat PATTERN as a literal string, that is, a fixed string with no special characters. -w, --word-regexp Force PATTERN to match only whole words. A "whole word" is a substring which either starts at the beginning or the record or is preceded by a non-word constituent character. Similarly, the substring must either end at the end of the record or be followed by a non-word constituent character. Word-constituent characters are alphanumerics (as defined by the current locale) and the under- score character. Note that the non-word constituent characters must surround the match; they cannot be counted as errors. Approximate matching settings: -D NUM, --delete-cost=NUM Set cost of missing characters to NUM. -I NUM, --insert-cost=NUM Set cost of extra characters to NUM. -S NUM, --substitute-cost=NUM Set cost of incorrect characters to NUM. Note that a deletion (a missing character) and an insertion (an extra character) together constitute a substituted character, but the cost will be the that of a deletion and an insertion added together. Thus, if the const of a substitution is set to be larger than the sum of the costs of deletion and insertion, direct substitutions will never be done. -E NUM, --max-errors=NUM Select records that have at most NUM errors. -# Select records that have at most # errors (# is a digit between 0 and 9). Miscellaneous: -d PATTERN, --delimiter=PATTERN Set the record delimiter regular expression to PATTERN. The text between two delimiters, before the first delimiter, and after the last delimiter is considered to be a record. The default record delimiter is the regexp " ", so by default a record is a line. PATTERN can be any regular expression that does not match the empty string. For example, using -d "^From " defines mail messages as records in a Mailbox format file. -v, --invert-match Select non-matching records instead of matching records. -V, --version Print version information and exit. -y, --nothing Does nothing. This options exists only for compatibility with the non-free agrep program. --help Display a brief help message and exit. Output control: -B, --best-match Only output the best matching records, that is, the records with the lowest cost. This is currently implemented by making two passes over the input files and cannot be used when reading from standard input. --color, --colour Highlight the matching strings in the output with a color marker. The color string is taken from the GREP_COLOR environment vari- able. The default color is red. -c, --count Only print a count of matching records per each input file, suppressing normal output. -h, --no-filename Suppress the prefixing filename on output when multiple files are searched. -H, --with-filename Prefix each output record with the name of the input file where the record was read from. -l, --files-with-matches Only print the name of each input file which contains at least one match, suppressing normal output. The scanning for each file will stop on the first match. -n, --record-number Prefix each output record with its sequence number in the input file. The number of the first record is 1. -q, --quiet, --silent Do not write anything to standard output. Exit immediately with zero exit status if a match is found. -s, --show-cost Print match cost with output. --show-position Prefix each output record with the start and end offset of the first match within the record. The offset of the first character of the record is 0. The end position is given as the offset of the first character after the match. -M, --delimiter-after By default, the record delimiter is the newline character and is output after the matching record. If -d is used, the record delim- iter will be output before the matching record. This option causes the delimiter to be output after the matching record. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, reads standard input. If less than two FILEs are given -h is assumed, otherwise -H is the default. DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is 0 if a match is found, 1 for no match, and 2 if there were errors. If -E or -# is not specified, only exact matches are selected. PATTERN is a POSIX extended regular expression (ERE) with the TRE extensions. REPORTING BUGS
