Extract error records based on specific criteria from Unix file

Hi,

I look for a awk one liner for below issue.

input file

Code:
ABC 1234 abc 12345
ABC 4567 678 XYZ
xyz ght 678
ABC 787 yyuu
ABC 789 7890 777
zxr hyip hyu
mno uii 678 776
ABC ty7 888

All lines should be started with ABC as first field. If a record has another value for 1st field, the previuos record with ABC also an error record. I need to get the output as below

Code:
ABC 4567 678 XYZ
xyz ght 678
ABC 789 7890 777
zxr hyip hyu
mno uii 678 776

i have written a code by using while ... do ... done. but for bigger files this takes lot of time as this code reads file record by record.
Please help.

Thanks
RAR.

you can use this perl code

Code:
 
$ cat pp.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
chomp(my @arr=<>);
my $i=0;
for (@arr)
{
        if (!/^ABC/)
        {
                my $x=$i-1;
                print "Line ".$i.":".$arr[$x]."\n";
                print "Line ".($i+1).":".$_."\n";
        }
$i++;
}

while runing this code, club it with sort -u

Code:
 
$ ./pp.pl a.txt| sort -u

output
Code:
 
Line 2:ABC 4567 678 XYZ
Line 3:xyz ght 678
Line 5:ABC 789 7890 777
Line 6:zxr hyip hyu
Line 7:mno uii 678 776

My code for this

My requirement is extract error records. Output shows error records.

My code is

Code:
cnt=1
cat input_file | while read line
do
typ=`echo "$line" | cut -c 1-3`
if [ $cnt -gt 1 ]
then
if [ typ != "ABC" ] || [ pre_typ != "ABC" ]
then
echo $pre_line >> output_file
fi
fi
cnt = 2
pre_typ=$typ
pre_line=$line
done
if [ typ != "ABC" ] || [ pre_typ != "ABC" ]
then
echo $pre_line >> output_file
fi

Please give me a better logic.

I don't understand what you mean by extract error records,
my code is giving the exact output you wanted (as mentioned in your post)
if you want the output in a file you can just direct the output towards one

Code:
$ ./pp.pl a.txt| sort -u > ErrorFile.txt

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