grab next consecutive line or lines
Hello i'm writting a krn shell that will find the letter F and I would like to grab everything from F till 0:00. Is there a sed or awk command that i could use.
Thank you. File is looks like this.

11/12 xxx xxxx xxx F xxxx xxxx
some info entered here
some info entered here
xxxx 0:00 xxxx xxx S xxxx xxxx
11/12 xxx xxxx xxx F xxxx xxxx
some info entered here
some info entered here
xxxx 0:00 xxxx xxx S xxxx xxxx

All the x's have data that changes and " some info entered here" can be either 1 or more lines. Plus the whole info repeats so i would just like to capture the first occurance of it. Thanks.

Smilie
