Not sure if you have to respond on different conditions - I left out the 2nd block with the leading g's

$> tr -d " " < infile| awk -F"[:;=]" '/^abcd/ {p=$2; next} /^[0-9]+/ {print p,$1,$4}'
gggggg 1234 Myfirstname
gggggg 5678 Mysecondname
gggggg 3434 Mythirdname
gggggg 6565 Mysfourthname
gggggg 1231 Mysfifthname

Oh and moving this to the shell scripting area - has nothing to do with UNIX and Linux Applications in particular and you might get more versatile answers.

while(<DATA>){
	chomp;
	my @tmp = split(/[:;=]/,$_);
	map {s/\s*//g} @tmp;
	if($tmp[1]=~/\d+/){
		$arr[$tmp[1]]=$_;
	}
	elsif($tmp[0]=~/\d+/){
		my $tmp = $arr[$tmp[0]].";". $tmp[3]."\n";
		$tmp =~ s/\s*;\s*/ /g;
		print $tmp;
	}
}

now i have another problem.
if in my file i have reocrd in following format

5812                                                                            ;USD
    ;Y;N;Y;GEMS_                                                                        ;
               ;                                                                                ;
                    ;                                                                                ;
                         ;DefaultParent=abc                                                                     ;English=Airbaloon xyzz

ie the record is in spread in 3 line and when i do grep on it only returns me the 1st line , how can i get the whole record line

Well, it's not a record line, it's multiple lines. I take it that lines beginning with ; are continuations and everything else is a new line?

#!/bin/bash

STR=""
while IFS="" read LINE
do
        [ -z "${LINE}" ] && continue

        if [ ! "${LINE:0:1}" = ";" ]
        then
                echo "${STR}"
                STR="${LINE}"
                continue
        fi

        STR="${STR}${LINE}"
done

echo "${STR}"
