    The following "cut and paste" solutions were returned. Thanks to all.

    1) awk 'BEGIN {RS="<<"} /930168453/ {print}' data_file

    2) awk 'BEGIN{ FS = "\n" ; RS = "" } $3 ~ /930168453/ {print $0}' file1 >
    file2

    3) awk BEGIN {RS="" FS="\n"} $3 ~ /930168453/{print $1"\n"$2"\n"$3 |
    "mailx -s subject root"}
