Hi

i have text file arranged in rows and columns like below
Code:
11004 04493384      26798  CASSI0000I   Server manager initialization started 
111004 04493486      26798 CASSI4005I  Retrieving ES configuration from 
111004 04493589      26798 CASSI1802I  Dynamic debug attachment permitted

i want to ignore all the line's till the line which contain a text "CASSI1802I" from awk parsing , so that awk can start scanning from next line after line containing text "CASSI1802I"
