Please don't give us "Etcetera."! Show us the exact output you are trying to produce from the 11 line sample input you showed us.

We need to see what is supposed to be done in the output when there are unequal numbers of "words" in input lines.

We need to see how the output lines corresponding to groups of input lines are supposed to be separated.

If you want output sorted, you also need to explain MUCH more clearly what the sort key is and explain how sorting on the 1st column of the output is going to maintain groups of associated output lines??? (The sort utility sorts lines; not line groups!)

You have been given sample awk scripts that work with the sample input you originally provided. Have you tried modifying those scripts to work with your (radically) different real input? What did you try? Where did you get stuck?

tt_message_rejecter(library call)										 tt_message_rejecter(library call)

NAME
tt_message_rejecter -- return offer's nth rejecting procid SYNOPSIS
#include <Tt/tt_c.h> char *tt_message_rejecter( Tt_message m, int n); DESCRIPTION
The tt_message_rejecter function returns the procid of the nth rejecter of the specified message. The m argument is the opaque handle for the message involved in this operation. The n argument is the number of the rejecter to be returned. The first rejecter is numbered zero. RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the tt_message_rejecter function returns the procid of the nth rejecter. The application can use tt_ptr_error to extract one of the following Tt_status values from the returned pointer: TT_OK The operation completed successfully. TT_ERR_PROCID There is no valid default procid, perhaps because tt_open has not yet been called. TT_ERR_NUM The integer value passed was invalid (out of range). TT_ERR_STATE The specified message is not in state TT_RETURNED. Since only TT_OFFERs can be in state TT_RETURNED, this status will be returned if the specified message is a TT_NOTICE or a TT_REQUEST. TT_ERR_POINTER The pointer passed does not point to an object of the correct type for this operation. APPLICATION USAGE
The application can use tt_free to free any data stored in the address returned by the ToolTalk API. SEE ALSO
Tt/tt_c.h - Tttt_c(5), tt_message_rejecters_count(3), tt_ptr_error(3), tt_free(3). tt_message_rejecter(library call)
