Thank you for your help
It is definetely an issue for the 'awk' utility.
Here is a working solution, although it could be done somehow shorter
using patterns (I do not recall how they worked.
But I have tested this one, it does the job.
#awk -f prog.awk
prog.awk should contain:
{
if( $1 == "FileNo:") { printf( "%s%s ", $1 , $2) }
if( $1 == "Name:") { printf( "%s ", $2) }
if( $1 == "Address1:") { printf( "%s ", $2) }
if( $1 == "Address2:") { printf( "%s", $2) }
if( $1 == "Phone:") { printf( "\n%s\n", $2) }
}

There are a few things that come to mind; if this is absolutely indexed how you stated, with no problems of extra blank lines etc existing, you could use line to read in the lines one at a time, use a simple grep/case statement to check whether the initial field conforms to a specific string, and assign each string to a variable. After six read ins, you have all the information you need and you ouput them however you want.
