sed multiline pattern match
How can I write a script that takes a cisco config file and outputs every occurrence of two, or more, pattern matches through the whole config file?

For example, out of a config file, i want to print out every line with interface, description and ip address through the whole file, and disregard anything else.

Example:

Code:
interface Loopback1111
 description aaaa
 ip vrf forwarding vaaaa
 ip address 1.1.1.1
!
interface Loopback2222
 description bbbb
 ip vrf forwarding vbbbb
 ip address 2.2.2.2
!

are there any good books to read up on this? can you recommend any?

---------- Post updated at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous update was at 07:54 PM ----------

I think i have a more clear question after seeing this. Given the lab config below, say that i want to print out a list of interfaces that belong to vrf ce1 (via command vrf forwarding). I want the list to include the interface, vrf forwarding name (i.e. ce1) and IP address; and ignore any other config options that contain any of the same information. In other words, I am looking only to list certain lines of text in the interface configuration portion and nothing else.

An example result would be, from the config file below:

Original Config text:
Code:
(a bunch of stuff above)
interface Serial1/0
 ip vrf forwarding ce1
 ip address 166.1.3.2 255.255.255.252
 encapsulation ppp
 fair-queue
 serial restart-delay 0
(a bunch of stuff below)

My results:

Code:
interface Serial1/0
 ip vrf forwarding ce1
 ip address 166.1.3.2 255.255.255.252





Code:
