G'day Ganesh Bharadwaj1,

Below is my take on a solution. I did some additional testing as follows (all successful):

• I originally used your data and got your expected output.
• I then added "test 1" and got your expected output again.
• I then added "test 2a" and "test 2b": your expected output again.
• I then added "test 3": your expected output again.
• I then added "test 4": your expected output PLUS the RRRRR line at the end.

#!/usr/bin/env perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my ($skip, @buf);

while (<DATA>) {
    if ($skip) {
        $skip = 0;
        next;
    } 

    if (/XXXXX/) {
        @buf = ();
        $skip = 1;
    }
    else {
        push @buf, $_;
        $skip = 0;
    }

    if ($. > 1 && @buf >= 2) {
        print for @buf[0 .. $#buf - 1];
        @buf = ($buf[-1]);
    }
}

print for @buf;
