Shell Programming and Scripting

Thank a lot raj_saini20 for your code, it is working fine for my requirement, when I made a small change.

Code:

$awk '$1 ~ /ABC/{if(x !~/ABC/){print $0};x=$1}($1 !~ /ABC/){x=$1;print}'  inputfile

This gives the last row also, even if it is a valid record starting with ABC.
So I skipped the last record in my output file.

sam05121988,

Script gives me below output, not giving lines starting with ABC.

Code:

xyz ght 678
zxr hyip hyu
mno uii 678 776

Thanks you all for your valuable inputs.
