    <p>i have a text file like this:</p> <pre><code>********** time1 ********** line of text1 line of text1.1 line of text1.2 ********** time2 ********** ********** time3 ********** ********** time4 ********** line of text2.1 line of text2.2 ********** time5 ********** ********** time6 ********** line of text3.1 </code></pre> <p>i want to extract line of text and the time(without the stars) <strong>above</strong> it and store it in a file.(<strong>time with no line of text beneath them have to be ignored</strong>). I want to do this preferably with grep and awk. So for example, my output for the above code should be</p> <pre><code>time1 : line of text1 time1 : line of text1.1 time1 : line of text1.2 time4 : line of text2.1 time4 : line of text2.2 time6 : line of text3 </code></pre> <p>how do i go about it?</p>

    3. COYou are more likely to get people to answer if you accept answers. Some of us are stats...uh...interested in stats. Also, it helps if you show that you've put some effort into finding a solution. "What have you tried?"

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
