i think it doesn't recognize * and space ?!

So, any way to extract the required data..

i also think about using findstr /v, but this will result in more command which is not efficient.

anyone can guide me along about how to implement the code in a more efficiency,,

thanks

Are you trying to put in "input" and get out "output"? Is that exact output form required (Why?), or would you rather have a more concise summary of the specific fields you are interested in?

Cheers and Regards

Using gawk from the unix tools:

gawk -v sb="" "/Menu information:/,/===========/ { if ( $0 ~ /===========/ ) print sb; next } 1" input.txt >output.txt 

This should almost do what you need because in your output an extra line of "========" is missing if i understood properly : you wanted to remove the lines between one begining with "Menu information:" and one containing only "=====".
