Basically, print is a variable that we clear at the start of every block. We then set the variable if and only if we encounter a block that we want to print (that is, a block which contains an Error or Warning line). When we get to the end of the current block, we check to see if the print variable is set. If it is, we then proceed with printing out what we need. If it isn't, then we know we don't need to print anything from this block, as it contains no errors or warnings. So we then move on, and at the next start of a block we unset the variable, and so on.
but what was the advantage of using print? If I understood correctly, we could have used any vaiable name for that matter and using print is putting some sort of a check?

And I guess I am wrong in mentioning print as a keyword in bash

@drysdalk I got what you are doing with the grep and tail command, but could you please explain to me what you are doing with the awk command and the characters you are using in that statement
