small shell scripts that works: 
#!/bin/bash

print $1

 sed -ne '/Contact/,+1p' -e '/Tel/p' $1 |sed -e '/Contact Candidate/d'|
sed -e 's/\-//'|sed -e '/^$/d'|sed -e 's/ *$//'|sed -e 's/Tel://g' -e
's/(M)//g' -e 's/0 Year(s) 0 Month(s)//g' -e 's/(R)//g' -e '/> Similar
Resumes/d' 

sample output

python code that works, after that i'm a bit lost ;)

import re

filename = "script.txt"

#regex pattern
p1 = re.compile("Contact Candidate",re.IGNORECASE)
p2 = re.compile ("Tel:", re.IGNORECASE)

#open the file
fh = open(filename,'r')
#read the contents of the file to an array.
file_array = fh.readlines()

#create an empty array
new_array = []
mod_array = []
for i in range(len(file_array)):
    if p1.search(file_array[i]):
        new_array.append(file_array[i+1])
    if p2.search(file_array[i]):
        new_array.append(file_array[i])
        new_array.append(file_array[i+1])
        

basically i'm trying my hand with text manipulation with python. i'm
thorough with shell scripting, sed & awk. 

after this data is extracted i would like to convert it to a csv file,
then i would like to insert the data into a database etc etc. i hope
this gives a good idea of what i'm trying to do.
