retaining only the second line with a pattern and deleting all others
Hi,
I have a file:
5 T1AxialPremosaic ok 512 448 23 1 284000-000005-000001.dcm
6 T2_SPACE ok 256 256 176 1 465000-000006-000001.dcm

34 MEMPRAGE ok 256 256 176 1 767000-000034-000001.dcm
35 MEMPRAGE ok 256 256 1 380000-000035-000001.dcm
36 MEMPRAGE ok 256 256 1 178000-000036-000001.dcm
...and I would like to retain only the second line with the pattern MEMPRAGE (preferably using just RAGE and in a case-insensitive manner). I've tried different things with awk:
but for this guy (above), I don't know how to keep only the second occurrence. I've also tried various plays on this one-liner:
But this isn't quite right either. The bottom line is that I don't understand awk, sed or grep well enough to get it done quickly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
This works great, but I actually realize my mistake in writing that I wished to retain everything but the line with the second occurrence of the pattern. I would like to retain everything in the text file without the tag "RAGE", as well as the line with the second occurrence of "RAGE". So for example, this would be my ideal output:

32 T1AxialPostmosaic ok 512 448 23 1 836000-000032-000001.dcm
34 MEMPRAGE ok 256 256 176 1 767000-000034-000001.dcm
Any ideas on how to keep the rest of the file intact (except for lines with "RAGE")? Apologies for the follow-up here.
I am trying to combine lines with these conditions:
1. First line starts with text of "libname VALUE db2 datasrc" where VALUE can be any text.
2. If condition1 is met then continue to combine lines through a line that ends with a semicolon.
3. Ignore case when matching patterns and remove any... (5 Replies)
