Hi reldb,
I can quickly give you an algorithm to this. Just convert it into unix code and make use of grep command for searching patterns.
create two temporary files file1.txt and file2.txt
Code:
scount=0
while read k
do
if [ line starts with Class ]
then
put the line into a file1.txt
elif [ line starts with Students ]
then
append the line into file1.txt
elif [ line starts with a number ]
scount+=1
append the line into file1.txt
elif [line is empty and scount >=1 ]
then
insert an empty line into file1.txt
insert ****** into file1.txt
append file1.txt data to file2.txt
empty file1.txt
scount=0
elif [ line is empty and scount=0 ]
then
empty the file1.txt
fi
done <"Sourcefile.txt"
The above could be used assuming the structure of your source file remains the same as you have provided.

join
JOIN(1) General Commands Manual JOIN(1)NAME
join - relational database operator
SYNOPSIS
join [ options ] file1 file2
DESCRIPTION
Join forms, on the standard output, a join of the two relations specified by the lines of file1 and file2. If file1 is `-', the standard
input is used.
File1 and file2 must be sorted in increasing ASCII collating sequence on the fields on which they are to be joined, normally the first in
each line.
There is one line in the output for each pair of lines in file1 and file2 that have identical join fields. The output line normally con-
sists of the common field, then the rest of the line from file1, then the rest of the line from file2.
Fields are normally separated by blank, tab or newline. In this case, multiple separators count as one, and leading separators are dis-
carded.
These options are recognized:
-an In addition to the normal output, produce a line for each unpairable line in file n, where n is 1 or 2.
-e s Replace empty output fields by string s.
-jn m Join on the mth field of file n. If n is missing, use the mth field in each file.
-o list
Each output line comprises the fields specified in list, each element of which has the form n.m, where n is a file number and m is a
field number.
-tc Use character c as a separator (tab character). Every appearance of c in a line is significant.
SEE ALSO sort(1), comm(1), awk(1)BUGS
With default field separation, the collating sequence is that of sort -b; with -t, the sequence is that of a plain sort.
The conventions of join, sort, comm, uniq, look and awk(1) are wildly incongruous.
