So here is the deal. I have a massive text file full of random information. I want to extract certain paragraphs and output them into a separate text file.
Here is a sample of the initial text file:

I can match the beginning of each paragraph using the regex 'Reading [0-9]*:'. This regex will return the first line of the paragraph, but I also need to select the remaining bullets until the end of the bullets. I can match the end of the bullets with the regex '^$'.
If I could find a way to grep and everything between 'Reading [0-9]:' and '^$' then output that to a file, this would fix my problem. Please help. Thanks
