Splitting a file based on context.
I have file as shown below. Would like to split the file based on the context of data.
Like, split the content between "---- XXX Info ----" and "
---- YYY Info ----" to a file.

When I try using below command, 2nd file contains all the info starting after first "---- YYYY Info ----" instance.
Code:
csplit -ks pfm.txt '%XXX Info%' '/^---- YYY Info ----/' {2}

Any suggestions how to split the only reqd. data as mentioned above.
Code:
---- XXX Info ----
Buuuu xxx bbb
Kmmmm rrr ssss uuuu
Kwwww zzzz ccc
Roooowwww eeee
Bxxxx jjjj dddd
---- YYY Info ----
Kuuuu eeeee nnnn
Rpppp cccc vvvv cccc

file 1:
Code:
---- XXX Info ----
Buuuu xxx bbb
Kmmmm rrr ssss uuuu
Kwwww zzzz ccc
Roooowwww eeee
Bxxxx jjjj dddd

file 2:

NAME

       SNMP::Info::Layer3::Pf - SNMP Interface to FreeBSD-Based Firewalls using Pf /Pf Sense

AUTHOR

       Max Baker

SYNOPSIS

	# Let SNMP::Info determine the correct subclass for you.
	my $pf = new SNMP::Info(
			       AutoSpecify => 1,
			       Debug	   => 1,
			       # These arguments are passed directly to SNMP::Session
			       DestHost    => 'myswitch',
			       Community   => 'public',
			       Version	   => 2
			       )
	   or die "Can't connect to DestHost.
";

	my $class      = $pf->class();
	print "SNMP::Info determined this device to fall under subclass : $class
";

DESCRIPTION

       Subclass for Free-BSD PF-Based devices

LLDP Support
       LLDP Support is included but untested in this Device Class.  It is reported that the available CDP/LLDP modules for net-snmp don't work on
       FreeBSD (on which pfSense is based) as they assume certain Linux specific Ethernet structures.  This problem is apparently solved on PF
       based firewall appliances by using the ladvd package, for which a port may be found here: <http://www.freshports.org/net/ladvd/>.  I'm not
       sure if this module ties into Net-SNMP or not.

   Inherited Classes
       SNMP::Info::Layer3
       SNMP::Info::LLDP

   Required MIBs
       FOKUS-MIB
       Inherited Classes' MIBs
	   See "Required MIBs" in SNMP::Info::Layer3 for its own MIB requirements.

	   See "Required MIBs" in SNMP::Info::LLDP for its own MIB requirements.

GLOBALS

       These are methods that return scalar values from SNMP

       $pf->vendor()
	       Returns 'FreeBSD'

       $pf->hasCDP()
	       Returns whether LLDP is enabled.

       $pf->model()
	   Grabs the os version from "sysDescr"

       $pf->os()
	   Returns 'Pf'

       $pf->os_ver()
	   Tries to reference $pf->id() to one of the product MIBs listed above.  Will probably return a truncation of the default OID for pf-
	   based systems "enterprises.12325.1.1.2.1.1".

   Global Methods imported from SNMP::Info::Layer3
       See documentation in "GLOBALS" in SNMP::Info::Layer3 for details.

TABLE METHODS

       These are methods that return tables of information in the form of a reference to a hash.

       $pf->c_id()
	   Returns LLDP information.

       $pf->c_if()
	   Returns LLDP information.

       $pf->c_ip()
	   Returns LLDP information.

       $pf->c_platform()
	   Returns LLDP information.

       $pf->c_port()
	   Returns LLDP information.
