The log file is very long and contains sensitive information that I do not feel comfortable posting online without some heavy editing. I apologise for not being able to be more specific about this.

Ok let say I want to "awk" that specific table within the log file, maybe start awking from 5 lines further down from the table title line where the column data starts until it reaches the line "$$".

Alternatively I could think of maybe I grab those lines first matching between the table title line and the line $$ and then pipes those to awk....

If the data in column 6 is greater than 2 then output the corresponding number in column 2 and store that in a variable.

I hope that is clear enough, and I apologise again for not able to be far more specific about this.
