I have a txt file containing the lines above, and need to grep 2 of items (i.e. Queue [APSAUTOCODER] max queue depth : 5000) off of the file so that the output will look like:

APSAUTOCODER - max queue depth : 5000
APSCASERETRIEVAL - max queue depth : 5000
BMDI.RESULTS - max queue depth : 8000
.... more ...

Please advise.

awk '/Queue/ {printf("%s - ", substr($2,2,length($2)-1); next}
      /max queue depth / {print $0}  '  infile > outfile

start with that

Hope this helps

awk '/Queue/ {gsub(/[\[\]]/,"",$2);m=$2;} /max queue depth/ {gsub(/  */," ");print m"-"$0;} ' input_file

i=1
for id  `cat <file>| sed -n 's/^Queue \[([A-Z]\+)\].*/\1/'`
do
arr[$i]=$id
i=`expr $i + 1`
done
i=1
size=${arr[@]}
while [ $i -lt $size ]
do
j=`expr $i + 1`
sed -n "/Queue \[${arr[$i]}\]/,/Queue \[${arr[$j]}\]/p" > temp.txt
value=awk -F '=' '/max queue depth/{print $2} temp.txt
echo "${arr[$i]} -max queue depth:$value"
i=`expr $i + 1`
done

Does it help?

Thank you so much! It works perfect.
