Question Difficult Filtering Problem

Sir,
I have a file containing say 1000 lines that contain 100 paragraphs of 10 lines each separated by blank lines.I have to match a pattern or a string "hdfhasdjkasdhs" and print the complete paragraphs containing these strings.I can do this with the help of line editor ex,but how can I use Shell(sh) to perform this operation.I DO NOT have a C shell or CSH.Please tell me what combination I should use in sed/awk or is there any other way to do it.

NAME
bwild - Bacula's 'wildcard' engine SYNOPSIS
bwild [options] -f <data-file> DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the bwild command. This is a simple program that will allow you to test wild-card expressions against a file of data. OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below. -? Show version and usage of program. -d nn Set debug level to nn. -dt Print timestamp in debug output -f <data-file> The data-file is a filename that contains lines of data to be matched (or not) against one or more patterns. When the program is run, it will prompt you for a wild-card pattern, then apply it one line at a time against the data in the file. Each line that matches will be printed preceded by its line number. You will then be prompted again for another pattern. Enter an empty line for a pattern to terminate the program. You can print only lines that do not match by using the -n option, and you can suppress printing of line numbers with the -l option. -n Print lines that do not match -l Suppress lines numbers. -i use case insensitive match.
