I have text something like

========================================
=

details:
ID=1234
val=ABCD
sum=f5303

value1:
ID=7589
sum=435

=======================================

The above text is in a file.....

Now I need to parse only the details secion..

Input will be details (name) and ID from command line arguments...

Now the output should be ID=1234...

My problem is : How do I extract only this part

ID=1234
val=ABCD
sum=f5303

I am not able to write a regular expression to match this, i.e it is not going to multiple line

Please Help
