Code:
 awk '/ :/{printf "%s-%s-%s\n%s:%s\n",$4,$5,$6,$7,$8;next}
/--/{print;next}
{FS="[-/:]";print $7}'  FS="[-/:]"

Code:
% cat file

Use nawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk on Solaris.

radoulov,
given a sample input with 'blanks'
Code:
--
/home/dir1/file-egress-filter-Remark : Stuff
/home/dir1/file-egress-filter-permit stuff
/home/dir1/file-egress-filter-
/home/dir1/file-egress-filter-permit other stuff
/home/dir1/file-egress-filter-
/home/dir1/file-egress-filter:permit more stuff
--
/home/dir1/other-egress-filter-
/home/dir1/other-egress-filter-Remark : Other
/home/dir1/other-egress-filter-permit other
/home/dir1/other-egress-filter-
/home/dir1/other-egress-filter-permit other others
/home/dir1/other-egress-filter:permit more other
--

the output is:
Code:
--
file-egress-filter
Remark : Stuff
permit stuff

permit other stuff

permit more stuff
--

other-egress-filter
Remark : Other
permit other

permit other others
permit more other
--

the 'header' in the SECOND block is AFTER the first blank line - while I believe it should be first.
I like the solution, but don't really like explicitely referencing field numbers - kinda ties you up to a particular number and the 'depths' of the patterns/paths - I believe using 'match' and regex makes it more 'generic'.

Yes,
I agree, more explicit referencing -> less flexible code.
I would only suggest an approach like mine for fixed formats.

Thanks for the replies guys... good stuff to learn.

Seems to be an issue in processing this line:
Code:
/home/dir1/file-egress-filter-Remark : Stuff

It's removing the word Remark and just printing everything after the : so the output is
Code:
 Stuff

when it should be:
Code:
Remark : Stuff

everything is kosher here - no 'drops' given the sample file with 'blanks'.
Paste your sample file once again.

Each block will follow a format similar to this:
Code:
--
/home/dir1/file-egress-filter-Remark : Stuff
/home/dir1/file-egress-filter-permit stuff
/home/dir1/file-egress-filter-
/home/dir1/file-egress-filter-Remark : Other Stuff
/home/dir1/file-egress-filter:permit other stuff
--

I guess the things to consider are that the filename is delimited from the text with a - on all but the last line in which case it's a :. Also, lines within the block can contain a : on more than one occasion and need to be retained. Then also, the "blank" line issue where it lists just the file name.

On the above example we would want:
Code:
file-egress-filter
Remark : Stuff
permit stuff

Remark : Other Stuff
permit other stuff

Thanks again for your help...

Assuming that the 'something:other' is to be treated differently than 'something : other'
Code:
BEGIN {
  FS="[/]"
}
/^--/ {block++;print;next}
block {
  match($NF, "^.*-.*-[^-][^-]*-")
  printf("%s\n", substr($NF, 1, RLENGTH-1))
}
!match($NF, "-[^-][^-]*$") {print "";next }
{
  ($0 ~ "[^ ]:[^ ]") ? match($NF, ":[^:][^:]*$") :  match($NF, "-[^-][^-]*$")
  printf("%s\n", substr($NF, RSTART+1))
  block=0
}
