I think Corona688 missed the fact that you want CRLF line terminators in your output too. To do that, this trivial modification to his code:
Code:
awk '{ gsub(/[\r\n]/, ""); L=L$0 } /<\/Commit>/ { print L "\r"; L="" }' inputfile > outputfile

should do what you want as long as the 1st line in every set of 3 adjacent lines in your input file contains "client" starting in column 29 (columns are numbered starting from 1; not 0; in awk. If you want to discard other types of records, this more complicated script should work:
Code:
awk '
cnt {	out = out $0
	if(--cnt == 0) {
		gsub("\r", "", out)
		print out "\r"
	}
	next
}
substr($0, 29, 6) == "client" {
	cnt = 2
	out = $0
}' inputfile > outuptfile

timblclient

timblclient(1)						      General Commands Manual						    timblclient(1)

NAME

       timblclient - a simple client to access the Tilburg Memory Based Learner Server

SYNOPSYS

       timblclient -h host -p port [-i inputfile] [-i outputfile] [--batch] [-b basename]

DESCRIPTION

       timblclient connects to a TimblServer on 'host':'port' and sends it the normal instructions. (see timblserver )

OPTIONS

       The timblclient options are

       -i inputfile
	      a series of timblserver commands.

	      When  BATCH  is  specified, inputfile is supposed to be a 'normal' Timbl testfile. Every line is send to the timblserver as a 'clas-
	      sify' command.  Default is stdin.

       -o outputfile
	      Where to put the results. Default is stdout.

       --batch
	      When --batch is specified, the input from 'inputfile' is not interpreted as timblserver commands, but as instances that will be send
	      'as is' prepended by a classify instruction.

       -h host
	      connect to the server on 'host'

       -p port
	      connect to 'port' on 'host'

       -b basename
	      set the base in TimblServer to 'base'

BUGS

       This is just a simple testprogram, and rather clumsy.
