From bash you could do (Based on RudiC's awk script):

Code:
for file in *.out
do
   log=""
   while read line
   do
      case "$line" in
          appname:\ *) echo "${line#* }"  ;;
          logname*)    printf -v log "%s%s\n" "$log" "$line" ;;
          CAP:\ *)     printf -v log "%s\n" "$log"
                       eval printf '%.0s\\n' {1..${line#* }} ;;
      esac
   done < $file
   printf "%s" "$log"
done

Edit: And if you don't like using eval (which can be wise) replace the eval line with:

Code:
declare -a "vals=({1..${line#* }})"
printf "%.0s\n" ${vals[@]} ;;

logadm.conf

logadm.conf(4)                                                     File Formats                                                     logadm.conf(4)

NAME

       logadm.conf - configuration file for logadm command

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/logadm.conf

DESCRIPTION

       /etc/logadm.conf  is  the default configuration file for the log management tool logadm(1M). Comments are allowed using the pound character
       (#) and extend to the end of line. Each non-comment line has the form:

       logname options

       where logname is the name of the entry and options are the default command line options for the logadm command. The name of the  entry  may
       be  the  same  as  the  name of the log file, or a log file name may be given in the options section of the entry. Long lines may be folded
       using a backslash followed by a newline to continue an entry on the next line. Single or double quotes may be used  to  protect  spaces  or
       alternate-style quotes in strings.

       The  preferred  method  for  changing  /etc/logadm.conf  is to use the -V, -w, and -r options to the logadm(1M) command, which allow you to
       lookup an entry, write an entry, or remove an entry from /etc/logadm.conf.

       A full description of how and when /etc/logadm.conf is used and sample entries are found in logadm(1M).
