The data seem to be from an (old?) FORTRAN print file with carriage control characters as the first character in a line being interpreted / suppressed at printout. In principle, they should be eliminated in processing as well.
Picking lines by your criterion "single space" would not suppress the dash lines, so I use the 1 to synchronize to the page breaks and then suppress the following 5 resp. 7 lines. You can select any number of columns by adding their headers to the COLUMNS variable, separated by commas. Try
All,
I have a task to search through several hundred files and extract duplicate detail records and keep them grouped with their header record. If no duplicate detail record exists, don't pull the header. For example, an input file could look like this:

hi,
I want to extract and save the cpu(s) information from top command output, but individual cpu statistics separately on a multi-processor machine.
In command line, top will show this statistics when we press the switch "1".

asa
ASA(1) BSD General Commands Manual ASA(1)NAME
asa -- interpret carriage-control characters
SYNOPSIS
asa [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
The asa utility reads files sequentially, mapping FORTRAN carriage-control characters to line-printer control sequences, and writes them to
the standard output.
The first character of each line is interpreted as a carriage-control character. The following characters are interpreted as follows:
<space> Output the rest of the line without change.
0 Output a <newline> character before printing the rest of the line.
1 Output a <formfeed> character before printing the rest of the line.
+ The trailing <newline> of the previous line is replaced by a <carriage-return> before printing the rest of the line.
Lines beginning with characters other than the above are treated as if they begin with <space>.
EXIT STATUS
The asa utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
To view a file containing the output of a FORTRAN program:
asa file
To format the output of a FORTRAN program and redirect it to a line-printer:
a.out | asa | lpr
SEE ALSO f77(1)STANDARDS
The asa utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
