Help tabulating file putting repeated strings as headers
Hi. May somebody help me with this.

I´m trying to tabulate the following input file, but the desired output I´m getting is incorrect.

I have access to GNU/LINUX (Ubuntu) and Cygwin

Input file
Code:
STAGE = 1
ID = 0
NAME = JFMSC
TYPE = MLRR
DFRUL = PERMISSION
ADDR = 1001
RRUL = PERMISSION
SPRR = TRUE
ISGALW = FALSE
ISUTWD = FALSE

STAGE = 1
ID = 2
NAME = PLLSJS
TYPE = MLRR
DFRUL = PERMISSION

STAGE = 1
ID = 4
NAME = AAAARR
TYPE = MLRR
DFRUL = RESTRICT
ADDR = 3553
RRUL = PERMISSION
SPRR = FALSE
ISGALW = FALSE
ISUTWD = FALSE
ADDR = 66444
RRUL = PERMISSION
SPRR = FALSE
ISGALW = FALSE
ISUTWD = FALSE
ADDR = 890087
RRUL = PERMISSION
SPRR = FALSE
ISGALW = FALSE
ISUTWD = FALSE

STAGE = 1
ID = 0
NAME = PPROOA
TYPE = RRHN
DFRUL = PERMISSION
ADDR = 7034
RRUL = PERMISSION
SPRR = FALSE
ISGALW = FALSE
ISUTWD = FALSE

This is the code I was able to construct so far

Code:
awk 'BEGIN{print "STAGE|ID|NAME|TYPE|DFRUL|ADDR|RRUL|SPRR|ISGALW|ISUTWD"}
/ID/{a=$3}
/NAME/{b=$3}
/TYPE/{c=$3}
/DFRUL/{d=$3}
/ADDR/{f=$3}
/RRUL/{g=$3}
/SPRR/{h=$3}
/ISGALW/{i=$3}
/ISUTWD/{j=$3
  print a"|"b"|"c"|"d"|"f"|"g"|"h"|"i"|"j
}
' file.txt

My current output
Code:
STAGE|ID|NAME|TYPE|DFRUL|ADDR|RRUL|SPRR|ISGALW|ISUTWD
0|JFMSC|MLRR|PERMISSION|1001|PERMISSION|TRUE|FALSE|FALSE
4|AAAARR|MLRR|RESTRICT|3553|PERMISSION|FALSE|FALSE|FALSE
4|AAAARR|MLRR|RESTRICT|66444|PERMISSION|FALSE|FALSE|FALSE
4|AAAARR|MLRR|RESTRICT|890087|PERMISSION|FALSE|FALSE|FALSE
0|PPROOA|RRHN|PERMISSION|7034|PERMISSION|FALSE|FALSE|FALSE

Desired output
Code:
STAGE|ID|NAME|TYPE|DFRUL|ADDR|RRUL|SPRR|ISGALW|ISUTWD
1|0|JFMSC|MLRR|PERMISSION|1001|PERMISSION|TRUE|FALSE|FALSE
1|2|PLLSJS|MLRR|PERMISSION|||||
1|4|AAAARR|MLRR|RESTRICT|3553|PERMISSION|FALSE|FALSE|FALSE
|||||66444|PERMISSION|FALSE|FALSE|TRUE
|||||890087|PERMISSION|FALSE|TRUE|FALSE
1|0|PPROOA|RRHN|PERMISSION|7034|PERMISSION|FALSE|FALSE|FALSE

Thanks in advance.
