Subject: Re: if / else, how to include next line

Hm, maybe I was in fact a bit vague here, sorry.

I think grep will do the job (sometimes its just simpler than one 
expected...), but now just out of curiosity:

I have one file, structured as shown above. It contains some 600 
"entries" (that is a KOG-number followed by 8 lines of information). Out 
of these 600-someting entries, I only need a particular subset. The 
information on which KOG-entries I need are in a second text file 
(basically the KOG-numbers, one in each line), like so:

KOG0019
KOG0101
KOG0245
etc

Ideally,the program would read this keyword-file, store the information 
in a variable (an array, I guess) and then use this array to identify 
the entries in the "main" file and puts them into stdout.

*scratches head*
