There is a huge difference between printing lines between two given strings and duplicating data found on the 1st line starting with an asterisk onto the ends of the following non-empty lines up to the next line starting with an asterisk.

Do you want to print selected lines or do you want to add data to the ends of selected lines?
How will your script be told which lines to select?

And PLEASE use CODE tags.
