How you need the output?Are you looking for the entire block seperated with colon or just the City name ?

DILEEP410,
Thanks for your reply,
For the output, I need only city names and then I will use them to store in database.
like CITY1=Washington,CITY2= ...,

Thank you again for your help

Sorry I think the code should read like this
Code:
CITY1=`echo "$text" | grep "A:" |awk '{print $0 }'`
CITY2 =`echo "$text" | grep "B:" |awk '{print $0 }'`
CITY3=`echo "$text" | grep "C:" |awk '{print $0 }'`
CITY4=`echo "$text" | grep "D:" |awk '{print $0 }'`
CITY5=`echo "$text" | grep "E:" |awk '{print $0 }'`
CITY6=`echo "$text" | grep "F:" |awk '{print $0 }'`

GNU awk
Code:
awk 'BEGIN{FS=",*[a-zA-Z]:"}
{
  for ( i=2 ; i<=NF ; i++ ) {
    print "insert table values (\047" $i "\047)"
  }
}
' "file"

output:
Code:
# ./testnew.sh
insert table values ('Woshington')
insert table values ('London')
insert table values ('Paris')
insert table values ('Manchester')
insert table values ('Lisbon')
insert table values ('Cape town.')
