cat ${1} | tr '\n' '_' | sed s/_____/^/g | tr '^' '\n' | grep "${2}" |
tr '\n' '^' | sed s/"\^"/"_____"/g | tr '_' '\n'
Does anyone know any simpler/faster/more elegant way to do it?

1. Extract fields from records with complicated structure
Hi,
I would like to come up an efficient way to extract certain fields
from a binary record:
This record has 700 possible layouts, each layout has a structure code.
The record's average size is 130 bytes.
Each record can have different number of fields, it is decided by its
layout.
Also, some layouts are decided by a nested if-else-then rules.
Does anyone have any similar experience to deal with this records?
How to make the lookup part of extraction efficient?
Any help or pointer will be appreciated!
Thanks,
-Pei
