[R] analizing .txt file with R or an other program

2011-07-23 Thread aRe
Hello together

I have a .txt file with about 1Mio! rows.

Sometimes the rows are in the following order (whereas the number of rows
between the rows marked with an x differ):

...
*SBLINK R 5261507*x
5261439   516.4   364.3  9148.0 ...   816.0 -1133.048.4 MA.C.TB...BL.
5261441   516.4   364.0  9145.0 ...   799.0 -1135.048.7 MA.C.TB...B..
5261443   516.4   363.9  9140.0 ...   817.0 -1171.049.3 MA.C.TB.R
*MSG5261445 Prime 11_fe_ha*x
5261445   516.7   363.8  9133.0 ...   813.0 -1097.049.3 MA.C.TB..
5261447   517.0   363.8  9127.0 ...   818.0 -1144.049.9 MA.C.T.LRTB..
*EBLINK R 5261507   5261645 140*x
5261509.   .0.0 ....   .   . .
5261511.   .0.0 ....   .   . .
*MSG5261512 Mask 8_ma_ma*x
5261513.   .0.0 ....   .   . .
5261515.   .0.0 ....   .   . .
...

Here I would like to generate an output, that gives me the two parts
"...Prime 11_fe_ha" and "...Mask 8_ma_ma" if and only if "...Prime 11_fe_ha"
is situated between "SBLINK..." and "EBLINK...".

Here I would like to generate an output, that consists of the two parts
"...Prime 11_fe_ha" and "...Mask 8_ma_ma" if and only if "SBLINK..." is
situated between "... Prime 11_fe_ha" and "...Mask 8_ma_ma". The place of
the "EBLINK..." is not important. that means also the following structure
should lead to the same output:

...
*MSG5261445 Prime 11_fe_ha*x
5261439   516.4   364.3  9148.0 ...   816.0 -1133.048.4 MA.C.TB...BL.
5261441   516.4   364.0  9145.0 ...   799.0 -1135.048.7 MA.C.TB...B..
5261443   516.4   363.9  9140.0 ...   817.0 -1171.049.3 MA.C.TB.R

5261513.   .0.0 ....   .   . .
5261515.   .0.0 ....   .   . .
*EBLINK R 5261507   5261645 140*x
...
