I've tried to sort it this way :
12:00 eating:fruit
18:00 eating:vegetals
22:00 eating:nothing
12:00 rest:onhour
18:00 rest:threehour
22:00 rest:sevenhour
12:00 watching:horrorfilm
18:00 watching:manga
22:00 watching:nothing
using these commands :
awk -F '[\ :]' '/the schedule is/{h=$2;m=$3} /eating/{print " "h":"m" watching:"$3}' f.txt
awk -F '[\ :]' '/the schedule is/{h=$2;m=$3} /rest/{print " "h":"m" rest:"$3}' f.txt
awk -F '[\ :]' '/the schedule is/{h=$2;m=$3} /watching/{print " "h":"m" watching:"$3}' f.txt
Now I am looking to improve the filtered file by ignoring all non significant words and sorting the most valuable information in a table , I've tried to think/search how get this format but in vain .
