Thanks Yoda and Scrutinizer.

@Yoda - Sorry your solution NOT working. It just prints System Information

Code:

# awk -v S="System Information" '
        {
                if ( $0 !~ /^ / )
                        T = $0
                if ( T )
                        A[T] = A[T] ? A[T] RS $0 : $0
        }
        END {
                for ( k in A )
                {
                        if ( A[k] ~ S )
                                print A[k]
        }       }
' /tmp/dmi_out
        System Information

@Scrutinzer - You are right. Actually I need to run dmidecode -t system which does NOT work on older RHEL 3 & 4 [ It works on RHEL 5.3 onwards ]. Hence Am trying to run just dmidecode and extract only the paragraph with "System Information".

-qt and -s options are also not working.

Please advise - thanks a lot!!
