[...] Oops, the above use of sed does not work; but it can be replaced by #tr -d '\n' < IN Or the whole thing could even be done with (I think!): #tr -d '\n' < IN | tr ' ' '\n' | grep -B1 Processor | grep -v 'Processor\|--' i.e., remove the newlines, replace all the spaces with newlines, then grep for the line before "Processor".
