Hi oryan, welcome to the monastery. It's not a soup kitchen.

Your problem would be trivial to solve in Perl, and you could implement a solution that split the job into chunks that could be worked on simultaneously by several processes. However, you are unlikely to be handed a working solution for free.

The first question that springs to my mind is whether the sets of lines can overlap, or whether it is guaranteed that one set completes before the next matching set begins. If it is the former, the job will be more complicated.

In any case, using very standard Perl techniques for opening files, looping through them, matching patterns and writing out the results, you could learn how to do this in short order.

Here are some links to the documentation to get you started:
Introduction to Perl
open a file
read ines from a file
split a line into chunks
pattern matching quick start
write to a filehandle (and more on opening and closing files)

Good luck, hope this helps!

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
