awk print in one line after reading textfile with paragraphs
Hello everybody

I have a text file which has the following format:

Code:
nmm  "text20140601.033954text" "text" "text"
"text" , ... , "text"
"text" , ... , Lat  36.3247  Lon 16.0588 Depth 8
"text", ... , "text"
"text", ...,  CovXX 1.65 CovYY 2.32 CovZZ 1.2
"text" , ..., "text

nmm  "text20140604.033935text" "text" "text"
"text" , ... , "text"
"text" , ... , Lat  36.3000  Lon 16.0500 Depth 6
"text", ... , "text"
"text", ...,  CovXX 1.50 CovYY  1.10 CovZZ 1.4
"text" , ..., "text
...

(where "text" is random words or numbers)
what I want is to get the important fields of each paragraph and print them in one line (one line for each paragraph).
The desired format is :
Code:
20140601033954 36.3247 16.0588 8 1.65 2.32 1.2
20140604033935 36.3000 16.0500 6 1.50 1.10 1.4

I have tried with
Code:
awk '$1=="nmm" {print substr($2,10,8) substr($2,19,7)}   $9 ~/Lat/   {print $10, $12, $14 } $8 ~/CovXX/ {print $3, $5, $7)}' text.txt

but I get the right results in different lines.
Thank you in advance for your time and help.
