Code:
$ ruby -e 'ARGV.each{|f| print "#{f} ";File.readlines(f).each{|l| print "#{l.split[-1]} " if l =~ /UWI|LSR/};print "\n"};' file

Ok, I figured it out. The following code works perfectly:
Code:
 
#!/usr/bin/awk
BEGIN {
  print "Starting script...";
}
{
  if ( FNR==1 && NR==1 )#
  {
    printf FILENAME"\t\t"
  }
  if ( FNR==1 && NR!=1 )#
  {
    printf "\n"FILENAME"\t\t"
  }
  if ( substr($0,2,3) == "UWI" )#
  {
    well = substr($0,11,20);
    gsub(/^[ \t]+|[ \t]+$/, "", well); #trim spaces
    printf well "\t\t";
  }
  if ( substr($0,2,3) == "LSR" )#
  {
    kb = substr($0,11,20);
    gsub(/^[ \t]+|[ \t]+$/, "", kb); #trim spaces
    printf kb;
  }
} 
END {
  printf "\nEnding script...\n";
}

Thanks again for your help bartus11, much appreciatedSmilie
