Re: [^0-9] find patterns that are across multiple lines

[TimtheEagle]

Thanks a lot - final awk script is below for the record.  Had some minor
syntax errors in my original sample data.

awk '/Acct-Status-Type =/{ last_acct_status = NR; as = $0 }/User-Name =
\"dthn/ && last_acct_status + 1 == NR {last_user_name = NR; print NR-1 as;
print NR $0 }/Framed-IP-Address = 10\.230\.4\./ && last_acct_status + 4 ==
NR { print NR $0 }' inputfilename
