!/statistics/{
   stat=(!stat)? $2:stat OFS $2
}
END {
   print file OFS stat
}

Thank you for the reply but I don't see in the above how my stats will be found in the huge stats output file when there is no notation of how to find what I am looking for. The stats I need are the second field of the first 5 lines following "train statistics", etc. I don't see how you can find what I am looking for without "train statistics" being in there somewhere. I could post an actual file if that would help.

This version works more or less. It prints the stats I need to the logfile.
Code:
#!/bin/sh

# name of file being processed
STATS_FILE=$1
# file we are writing to
LOGFILE=$1

# 4 sets of labels we are looking for
LABELS='train_statistics,test_statistics,validate_statistics,ival_statistics'

cat $STATS_FILE | \
awk -v var="$LABELS" '                 BEGIN { split(var,label_array,","); pos = 1 }
                                      F == 1 { line_array[++a_count] = $2; line_count++ }
                             line_count == 5 { for(i=1; i<=a_count; i++) print line_array[i];
                                               delete line_array;
                                               a_count = 0;  
                                               F = 0;
                                               line_count = 0;
                                               pos++ }
                       $0 ~ label_array[pos] { F = 1; line_count = 0; }
                     ' > $LOGFILE

I need to format the output a bit better and trap for if pos is larger that the size of label_array. I suspect that I also don't need both a_count and line_count.

Is there anything badly wrong with this approach?

set_color

set_color(1)							       fish							      set_color(1)

NAME

       set_color - set_color - set the terminal color

set_color - set the terminal color
   Synopsis
       set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]

   Description
       Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
       cyan, white and normal.

       o -b, --background Set the background color

       o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names

       o -h, --help Display help message and exit

       o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode

       o -u, --underline Set underlined mode

       o -v, --version Display version and exit

       Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.

       Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
       font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.

       Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.

       set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
       incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
       ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.

Version 1.23.1							  Sun Jan 8 2012						      set_color(1)
