Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Loop through awk results Post 302581157 by hermes14 on Monday 12th of December 2011 08:41:38 AM

Sample input file:
Code:
[stanza1]
id1: value1
id2: value2
id3: value3

[stanza2]
id1: value1
id2: value2
id3: value3

[stanza12]
id1: value1
id2: value2
id3: value3

Searching for 'stanza1' will return
Code:
[stanza1]
id1: value1
id2: value2
id3: value3
[stanza12]
id1: value1
id2: value2
id3: value3

as a single result.
I would like to access to the content of each stanza, so that I could assign
Code:
[stanza1]
id1: value1
id2: value2
id3: value3

to, e.g., variable i, and
Code:
[stanza12]
id1: value1
id2: value2
id3: value3

to variable j.

Thanks for the reply ygemici, but this will cycle throug each line of the result, that's not what I need.

NAME

       pbmtopsg3 - convert PBM images to Postscript with G3 fax compression

SYNOPSIS

       pbmtopsg3 [--title=title] [--dpi=dpi] [filespec]

DESCRIPTION

       Converts the PBM images in the input PBM file to pages in a Postscript file encoded with G3 fax compression.

       If you don't specify filespec, the input is from Standard Input.

       Remember that you can create a multi-image PBM file simply by concatenating single-image PBM files, so if each page is in a different file,
       you might do:

       cat faxpage* | pbmtopsg3 >fax.ps

OPTIONS

       -title The Postscript title value.  Default is no title.

       -dpi   The resolution of the Postscript output.  Default is 72 dpi.
