I am trying to identify all messages or prompts from a number of COBOL programs and they can usually be identified by a pair of double quotes on one line. However, sometimes the literal will not be finished on the first line but after a dash in column 7 of the next line, the literal will be continued after the first double quote on that line. This is an example of both:
There is a space after Application in column 72 (last column with code) and I need to see "Application Inquiry" with asterisks on either side.
My script of grep '".*"' $1 finds the line with two quotes on them but not those with one.

SPLIT(1) General Commands Manual SPLIT(1)NAME
split - split a file into pieces
SYNOPSIS
split [ option ... ] [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
Split reads file (standard input by default) and writes it in pieces of 1000 lines per output file. The names of the output files are xaa,
xab, and so on to xzz. The options are
-n n Split into n-line pieces.
-l n Synonym for -n n, a nod to Unix's syntax.
-e expression
File divisions occur at each line that matches a regular expression; see regexp(7). Multiple -e options may appear. If a subex-
pression of expression is contained in parentheses (...), the output file name is the portion of the line which matches the subex-
pression.
-f stem
Use stem instead of x in output file names.
-s suffix
Append suffix to names identified under -e.
-x Exclude the matched input line from the output file.
-i Ignore case in option -e; force output file names (excluding the suffix) to lower case.
