Of course!

I've gone the route of your 3rd example were I'm conditionally printing the string on the closing brace and notice that you've quite sensibly chosen to use an array of variables. I've changed it slightly so the print occurs when a line ends with the closing brace instead of beginning and ending with a brace, just in case any definitions added in the future are formatted differently.

So my awk now looks like;
Code:
echo "$services" | grep -v '^\#' | awk '/service_description/ { $1="" ; A[1]=substr($0,2) }
                        /(host_name|hostgroup_name)/ { $1="" ; A[2]=substr($0,2) }
                        /contact_groups/ { $1="" ; A[3]=substr($0,2) }
                        /check_command/ { $1="" ; A[4]=substr($0,2) }
                        /\}$/ { print A[1]"~"A[2]"~"A[3]"~"A[4] }'

My script is now coming out with correct results.
Thanks muchly.

Vin
