Taking a particular attribute's value in a file...
HI,
Iam new to scripting..I need some guidance for invoking the following logic..
My input file contains
Code:
  Event Time = Thu, Nov 6, 2008 08:41:56 AM
                         Probable Cause = UnspecifiedReason
                      Specific Problems = BTS down due to Tx
                                 Domain = Domain 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-A8-1D-4E-91-5D-4C-75:.gp.dm.GSM_dm
                           Alarm Origin = IncomingAlarm
                     Perceived Severity = Critical
                        Additional Text = "NeType: BSC6000| NeLocation: | vendor: | neName: SVHBS150| alarmName: FUEL LEVEL 
                                          LOW| alarmLocation: Site No.=1188,Board Type=70,Board No.=0,PassNo=255,SubLink 
                                          No.=255,CellNo=65535,Site Type=16,RackNo=255,BoxNo=255,SlotNo=255| appendInfo:  
                                          MOI=DC=www.huawei.com , SubNetwork=1 , ManagedElement=7 , BssFunction=0 , 
                                          BtsSiteMgr=1188 
                                          NotificationId=4900 
                                          SpecificProblem=6448 
                                          <ALM_ID>580757<ALM_ID>"
                      Original Severity = Critical
                    Original Event Time = Thu, Nov 6, 2008 08:41:56 AM
                    Problem Occurrences = 1 Problems

Now from the above i need following output:

Code:
Event Time = Thu, Nov 6, 2008 08:41:56 AM

output of this should be
Code:
eventTime=06-11-2008-08-41..
Additional Text = "NeType: BSC6000| NeLocation: | vendor: | neName: SVHBS150| alarmName: FUEL LEVEL 
                                          LOW| alarmLocation: Site No.=1188,Board Type=70,Board No.=0,PassNo=255,SubLink 
                                          No.=255,CellNo=65535,Site Type=16,RackNo=255,BoxNo=255,SlotNo=255| appendInfo:  
                                          MOI=DC=www.huawei.com , SubNetwork=1 , ManagedElement=7 , BssFunction=0 , 
                                          BtsSiteMgr=1188 
                                          NotificationId=4900 
                                          SpecificProblem=6448 
                                          <ALM_ID>580757<ALM_ID>"

IN th einput additional text is containing n number of lines
if iam grepping to display the output only it is giving this value...
Code:
"NeType: BSC6000| NeLocation: | vendor: | neName:

,so I need to take the entire value of Additional text and whenever it has newline ~nl~ has to be appended i.e o/p should be

Code:
NeType: BSC6000| NeLocation: | vendor: | neName: SVHBS150|~nl~alarmName: FUEL LEVEL~nl~  LOW| alarmLocation: Site ~nl~No.=1188,Board Type=70,Board No.=0,PassNo=255,SubLink 
                                         ~nl~ No.=255,CellNo=65535,Site ~nl~Type=16,RackNo=255,BoxNo=255,SlotNo=255| appendInfo:  
                                       ~nl~   MOI=DC=www.huawei.com , ~nl~SubNetwork=1 , ManagedElement=7 , BssFunction=0 , 
                                         ~nl~ BtsSiteMgr=1188 
                                         ~nl~ NotificationId=4900 
                                          ~nl~SpecificProblem=6448 
                                          ~nl~<ALM_ID>580757<ALM_ID>
....

I did not follow your question completely but you could get part of your solution by doing something like:

awk '/Additional/,/ID/' file.name
