grep'ng for 'string' in bigip.conf

I think these examples might break with an iRule which has a closing brace on an empty line within the iRule code. Many iRules in the bigip.conf have un-indented lines for the event definitions:

 

 

 
 rule rule1 {  
 when RULE_INIT { 
    blah blah 
 } <--------- 
 when HTTP_REQUEST {  
    if (blahblah1) {  
       blah blah ...  
       if (blahblah2) {  
          blah blah ...  
       } 
    } else {  
       blah blah ...  
    }  
 } <--------- 
 } 
 

 

 

It would be ideal if you could actually check for the closing curly brace that corresponds to the object definition--not just the first closing brace alone on a line (\n}\n). But I'm not sure how to do this in awk or perl.
