If your input file is having non variant data, I mean starting account data with id 30 and than 2 lines of data with id 16 and finishes with id 49 then I have a very simple solution for it.

Code:
xargs -d"\|" -n4 < 1234.abc | grep 12347710 | tr '\|' '\n' > 1234.7710

If data is variant then revert..Smilie
