Help in printing records where there is a 'header' in the first record ???
Hi,
I have a backup report that unfortunately has some kind of hanging indent thing where the first line contains one column more than the others

This is the content of the report so far, hopefully it doesn't change. I change the information to not show the real information but the format is more or less correct.
Below is my long very newbie awk command
The grep -v "^$" is just a sanity thing. Is there a shorter way that does the same?

Guys....
Got a scenario in which I need to skip parsing the header record while I do an awk.

If so, how do we do this?.
