How to extract a pattern


Hi,
I have the following problem.  I have to extract from a file data 
structure which is specified by a label (e.g. "A"), a set of points 
("lbl") and the corresponding weights ("mod")  (example is attached).  
Data is berried within a lot of garbage. The only invariant structure in 
all files is e.g.:

{"(iter)","Filter", "A"}, {"lbl", 5, 2., 20., 20.,20., 2.}, {"mod", 5, 
0., 0.6, 0., 0.7, 0.}

where "ilter", "lbl" and "mod" are always present but  "{iter}" differs 
from file to file.  The first element after "lbl" and "mod" is the same 
- the number of point for this filter.

How can I extract only these list elements which contain "Filter" and 
"lbl" and "mod"?
Thanks in advance,
Ted
