We used grep, sed, awk, but when we got the information we get at the same time information from the section 1, section 2 and section 3, and we only need information from section 1 and section 3.

I really appreciate your help

Then do the following as the very first action:

sed -e '/

/,/
/d'

with this you no longer have the "Section 3" header, but the entire Section 2 is deleted.
