Issue
I'm tring to parsing a file in Ubuntu. The file looks like that:
---
13:21:11_09/11/22: Sync between <Repo Name> to <Other Repo Name>
Everything up-to-date
---
13:21:11_09/11/22: Sync between <Repo Name> to <Other Repo Name>
Everything up-to-date
---
13:21:11_09/11/22: Sync between Sync between <Repo Name> to <Other Repo Name>
remote: warning: File
<File Name>.zip is 70.04 MB; this is larger than GitHub's
recommended maximum file size of 50.00 MB
remote: error: Trace: 00000000000000000000
remote: error: See http://git.io/iEPt8g for more information.
remote: error: File
<File Name>.zip
is 135.74 MB; this exceeds GitHub's file size limit of 100.00 MB

13:21:11_09/11/22: Sync between Sync between <Repo Name> to <Other Repo Name>
Everything up-to-date
---
13:21:11_09/11/22: Sync between Sync between <Repo Name> to <Other Repo Name>
Upload <Repo Name>
I tring to remove all the sections that not contain an error.
Something like this:
---
13:21:11_09/11/22: Sync between Sync between <Repo Name> to <Other Repo Name>
remote: warning: File
<File Name>.zip is 70.04 MB; this is larger than GitHub's

remote: error: Trace: 00000000000000000000
remote: error: See http://git.io/iEPt8g for more information.
remote: error: File
<File Name>.zip
is 135.74 MB; this exceeds GitHub's file size limit of 100.00 MB
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help.

Explanation: I inform GNU AWK that row separator (RS) is triple dash followed by newline, then for rows which contain error somewhere I print triple dash newline followed by content of row ($0).
(tested in GNU Awk 5.0.1)
