Dear Monks, I am stuck with the following situation. I am sending a command to an equipment and I am getting the following output (multi line string). Please note that each line is indented as it is shown below: 
MAC Address: xx:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa
  IP addr: a.b.c.d
           x.y.z.f
  Name:  xxxx
  Neighbors attached: 1
    Additional: xxx Interface: xxx Index: xxx
       Link Cost: xx 
       Link Speed: xx Mbps
MAC Address: xx:aa:aa:aa:aa:aa
  IP addr: a.b.c.d
           x.y.z.f
  Name:  xxxx
  Neighbors attached: 1
    Additional: xxx Interface: xxx Index: xxx
       Link Cost: xx 
       Link Speed: xx Mbps

Each line that begins with ^MAC Address: is a node and I want to parse the lines so that relevant information relating to the node can be stored in a structure. e.g. In the above example, I have two nodes. Preferably, I am trying to have as output all information belonging to each node printed. e.g. 
Node with MAC Address: XXX has IP = and Link Speed = and Link Cost =

Node with MAC Address: YYY has IP = ...

Thanks in advance....
