I don't know how to do it in sh-script.
Mind some Perl?

#!/usr/bin/env perl
# split $1 into an array; separator is $2

our @Sections;
our $Section = "";

open FILE, $ARGV[0] or die "$0: can't open $ARGV[0]: $!\n";
while (<FILE>) {
	if ($_ == $ARGV[1]) {
		push @Sections, $Section;
	} else {
		$Section .= $_;
	}
}
close FILE;

# Now you have to do something with @Sections for this script to really be
# useful. This just concatenates them to stdout (w/ the separator):
print join ("$ARGV[1]\n", @Sections);
#
# Note that this script is NOT tested!
# Run it like so: perl fieldsep.pl <file-to-split> <separator-line>
