**Lots of data I don't need before this***

**Lots of data I don't need between these sections****

There's about 50 of these sections, with tons of information before and after the sections I don't need. I just want the numbers in between the dashes and nothing else outside it. Again, these sections start with POSITION (etc.) and the dashes and end with the dashes.

I want the output to look like:

Code:
      1.86126      1.86973      1.86972         0.000006      0.000006      0.000006
      1.83963      5.61435      5.60302        -0.000013      0.000019      0.000006
      ****A BUNCH MORE OF THESE NUMBERS****
      7.30218      7.59778     13.09455        -0.000012      0.000011      0.000016
     11.04119     11.33677     13.08985        -0.000021      0.000014      0.000014

with all the data for all 50 sections in a row with no spaces between the data.

catman

CATMAN(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 						 CATMAN(8)

NAME

     catman -- format cat pages from man pages

SYNOPSIS

     catman [-knpsw] [-m directory] [sections]
     catman [-knpsw] [-M directory] [sections]

DESCRIPTION

     catman creates formatted versions of the on-line manual pages from their nroff(1) source.	Manual pages whose formatted versions are missing
     or out of date are regenerated.  If manual pages are regenerated, catman also regenerates the whatis database.

     The optional sections argument is one word, and contains the section numbers of all the sections to be checked.  For example, if sections is
     ``13f8'', the manual pages in sections 1, 3f, and 8 will be checked and regenerated.  If no sections argument is provided, catman will try to
     operate on all of the known manual sections.

     The options are as follows:

     -k      Ignore errors from nroff when building manpages.

     -n      Do not create the whatis database.

     -p      Display the commands that would have been executed, but do not actually execute them.

     -s      Perform work silently; do not echo commands as they are executed.	This flag is ignored if -p is specified.

     -w      Only create the whatis database.

     -m directory
	     Add directory to the set of directories to be updated.

     -M directory
	     Update manual pages in directory.
