hi.. i have a file in the following format :-
name-a
age -12
address-123
age-12
phone-22222

name-ab
age -11
address-123
age-11
phone-222223

name-abc
age -12
address-1234
age-12
phone-2222223

now the problem is....I want to remove the duplicate age in each record...
how can I do that considering the age can be same for different records too...

Thanks in advance

Something like this:

awk '/^address/{print;getline;next}{print}' file

Thanks man.. it worked perfectly..
