I search something like this:

1.- in some case the UserName is not captured when this happens, the field should be left blank.

2.- for each machine, there are many programs installed, I need for each program generate new line containing the name of the program and machine(hostname).

3.- If any field not get information, need to insert blank.

4.- Field Separator needed is pipe character.


I search something like this:

Code:

Here is something I wrote based on your input data:
Code:
awk '
        BEGIN {
         print "UserName|DNSHostName|Caption|OSArchitecture|SerialNumber|NumberOfProcessors|TotalVisibleMemorySize|IPAddress|Name|Name|Description"
         n = split ( "UserName:DNSHostName:Caption:OSArchitecture:SerialNumber:NumberOfProcessors:TotalVisibleMemorySize:IPAddress", V, ":" )
         while ( ++k <= n )
               H[V[k]]
        }
        /UserName/ {
                f = 0
                c = 0
                split ( "", R )
        }
        function getval(par, str)
        {
                if ( par == "IPAddress" )
                        gsub ( /\{\"|\".*/, X, str )
                return str
        }
        /^Name/ {
                getline
                N[++c] = $0
                next
        }
        $1 in H {
                i = $1
                getline
                if ( !( $1 in H ) )
                {
                        if ( $1 != "Name" )
                                R[i] = getval( i, $0 )
                }
                else
                {
                        i = $1
                        getline
                        if ( $1 != "Name" )
                                R[i] = getval( i, $0 )
                }
                next
        }
        /Description/ {
                f = 1
                next
        }
        f && !/Description/ {
                for ( j = 1; j <= n; j++ )
                        printf "%s|", R[V[j]]
                printf "%s|%s|", N[1], N[2]
                printf "%s\n", $0
        }
' OFS='|' file

Feel free to make changes as per your requirement.
