Hi,
I am using Linux operating system and using bash shell.
The } are part of the input file and cannot be changed as i need them in the output file as well.
The blocks i want to merge is not always located adjacent to each other. They can be positioned at any line number in the file.
Eq Name and Id are fixed strings

I have tried with the following code and i am stuck on how to move the lines and delete the block.
Code:
#cat -n file
 1  POLY_STATS
     2  {
     3  EqName 103_tri
     4  Id 123
     5  act_polyCount 1
     6  act_polyValue 0
     7  }
     8  POLY_STATS
     9  {
    10  EqName 103_tri
    11  Id 123
    12  pass_polyCount 2
    13  pass_polyValue 0
    14  }
    15  POLY_STATS
    16  {
    17  EqName 103
    18  Id 123
    19  mes_polyCount 2
    20  mes_polyValue 0
    21  }
    22  POLY_STATS
    23  {
    24  EqName 504
    25  Id 123
    26  mes_polyCount 2
    27  mes_polyValue 0
    28  }
    29  }

Code:
 sort file | uniq -c | grep EqName|gawk '$1==2{print $3}' #Get the value of Eqname,which is repeating twice
 cat -n file|sed -n '/103_tri/p' #get line number where EqName is coming twice
 From=$(cat -n file|sed -n '/103_tri/p'|awk '{print $1}'|tail -1)
 echo $From #10
 From=$(echo "$From + 2" | bc)
 To=$(echo "$From + 1" | bc)
 sed -n $From,${To}p file # Printing the lines from the second block which i want to move to the first block

I have printed the lines to be moved
Code:
pass_polyCount 2
pass_polyValue 0

Now i want to insert the above two lines after line no 6 and delete the lines from 8 to 14. Pl help
