When your data is consistent it is easy to use awk with multiple lines like this. Can we please make this portable so I can use this in both RHEL and AIX?
What do I do when the data is not consistent? When your data is not consistent like this it does not work.
There is another problem I have. Sometimes the data has more than two lines.
